With summer now in full swing, gardeners everywhere are making the most of enjoying their yards in full bloom. But, it's also a busy time for tackling garden pests to ensure plants remain looking their best throughout the warmest season.
It turns out there's a super spice that can keep some of the most nuisance pests away: chili powder. It's somewhat of a triple threat, effectively deterring squirrels, ants, and slugs (along many other pests). This, of course, is no surprise as chili powder is actually one of the best spices to deter common garden pests. This is thanks to its pungent smell and taste which is unfavorable to a wide range of summer garden pests, including those mentioned above.
