How to make a garlic spray – for a natural way to combat slugs on plants

A slug eating a strawberry on the plant.

Our outdoor friends come in all shapes and sizes, from the many-legged, the furry and the slimy. Encouraging insects to become a part of our yard's eco system is a great way to help the surrounding environment to thrive. However, it isn't quite so rewarding when slugs start eating our plants.

You don't have to grab an insect spray that will harm or kill slugs if you're facing this issue in your yard though. In fact, by combining garlic with just a few other ingredients, you can create a simple homemade bug spray to spray on your plants and crops that will simply deter slugs away from the area.
