How to Stop Animals & Bugs From Eating Your Plants
- 1). Purchase mothballs or moth crystals from a hardware or garden store. Purchase Tabasco sauce from the local grocery store.
- 2). Sprinkle the mothballs or moth crystals around the plants that you want to protect. The mothballs and crystals repel snakes, insects and wildlife via the scent, which they all find distasteful.
- 3). Mix one part Tabasco sauce with two parts water, and pour the mixture into a garden sprayer.
- 4). Mist all the plants that you want to protect with the Tabasco mixture at least once per week and after every rain, and the taste will repel insects and wildlife without damaging the plants or surrounding soil.
