Bedbugs in the garden? Forget about using chemical pesticides; those pesky little suckers just float away.


No matter how big they are, bedbugs can withstand even the most powerful chemical pesticides. They are notoriously difficult to control in bigger spaces, such as vegetable patches or gardens.

But have no fear; you already have an all-natural remedy in your own kitchen: Baking soda!

Make Your Own Natural Pesticide:

Baking powder and water are the ingredients.

Instructions:

Dissolve one packet of baking powder in one liter of water.

After it has dissolved completely, pour the mixture into a spray bottle.

Apply this mixture to the soil and foliage of the afflicted plants using a spray bottle. This remedy will keep the bedbugs away, protecting your plants from injury.

Because of its natural ingredients, baking powder is effective against bedbugs and will keep them at bay for good.

Additional All-Natural Remedies for Bed Bugs:

To make garlic spray, boil one clove of garlic in one liter of water. After a week of steeping in the fridge, strain and pour into a spray bottle. A powerful repellent for bedbugs is the pungent odor of garlic.

You can get diatomaceous earth in garden stores; sprinkle it throughout the garden in amounts corresponding to the severity of the infestation. It's a natural cure.

Pest Control with Herbs: Bedbugs aren't fans of strong aromas. Rosemary, basil, or sage-based sprays are worth considering. Not only can these herbs deter pests, but they also perfume your garden.

Using these all-natural solutions can keep your garden free of bedbugs while also preserving an atmosphere free of harmful chemicals. Have fun tending to your garden!
