Using chemical agents should always be a last resort. Unfortunately, their use can affect not only the soil but also our plants. That's why homemade remedies are an excellent solution to our garden problems, which additionally won't strain your wallet.
Grubs can ruin crops
When we notice white, characteristic larvae appearing in the soil, we can be sure that grubs have settled on our property. Unfortunately, they feed on the roots of plants and grass, so nibbling on them may cause the plants to dry out and, consequently, even die.
How to get rid of grubs?
It might seem that removing grubs from the garden isn't easy. After all, they feed underground, making them unaccessible. That's not entirely true.
In this case, it's worth trying a homemade remedy for grubs. We only need 3 cloves of garlic, paraffin, which we can easily buy in almost any pharmacy or online, and about 40.6 ounces of water.
Garlic should be peeled, crushed, and pressed through a garlic press, then mixed with 1.5 tablespoons of paraffin. This mixture must be chilled in the refrigerator for 12 hours. After this time, we only need to dissolve the resulting mixture in water and pour it into a spray bottle to spray the area occupied by grubs easily.
