Get Rid Of Pests

Crush up some eggshells and put them around the base of your plants to protect them against any snails and slugs that may be lurking in your garden. Ducks are another great option to keep pests away. But you can’t always rely on them in your garden.

So this is a perfect way to deter snails and slugs who wish to munch on your lovely greens. Do you have a deer problem as well? Those trusty eggshells can help deter them in this case as well. Deer love to eat veggies. But they don’t like the smell of eggs.

One whiff of your eggs, and you won’t see any more pests trying to ruin what you worked so hard to create!
