Now let's carry this pesticide thing a
step further. Place about a cup of
water in a blender and throw in about a
bulb of peeled cloves. Liquify this and
pour the mixture through 2 or 3 layers
of cheesecloth. You can place the cloth
over a jar, securing it with rubber
bands. Save the crushed garlic from the
cheesecloth. This can be scattered in
flower beds or gardens and it will keep
all sorts of pests away, including
aphids. It works around fruit trees,
grape vines, berries, roses and newly
planted trees and bushes.
Wash the blender out immediately with
COLD water and the odor will be removed.
Later it can be washed normally as you
would your other dishes.

Pour your garlic/water mixture
into a spray-type bottle. You can
now spray your plants and pests
will not bother them. And it's
harmless to people, kids and pets.
If you find the spray clogs, you
will have to run the solution
through more cheesecloth. Use more
layers to remove the finer garlic
which is clogging the sprayer.
Remember, rain or watering will
wash off the spray so as soon as
you see anymore pests, it's time to
get out the spray. Researchers in
the Northwest have found that
garlic spray will keep deer from
eating newly planted saplings.
Give you any ideas?
