Special type of soap
With a block of soap you can easily chase away pests. Especially bugs that can destroy your garden by, for example, gnawing away at plants.
It is of course a shame if you have spent months repotting plants and within a few days they are suddenly bitten to pieces. With soap you chase these critters away. How does that work exactly?
First of all, it is important to know that you cannot use just any bar of soap in your garden. In fact, you have to use a certain kind of soap, preferably one of organic origin. Soap of organic origin breaks down slowly and mixes with your plants. If you choose a chemical soap, your plants will rot. So what else do you need to watch out for?
Ingredient
The soap should also have a specific ingredient, which is eucalyptus extract. The eucalyptus scent scares away insects, deer, mice and other pests from your plants. Very handy of course, but you must know exactly what to do with the soap. Hang it up or put it down? On the next page we explain several ways.
