Two percent neem oil mixed in coconut oil, when applied to exposed body parts, provides complete protection for twelve hours from bites of all anophelines. Place overturned clay flower pots near the shady side of a plant. Rest one edge on a small twig or make sure that the ground is irregular enough for the slugs and snails to crawl under the rim. They will collect there during the warmest pan of the day. Remove slugs and snails regularly and drop in a bucket of soapy water.
Snails avoid protective borders of sand, lime, or ashes.
Protect young plants by encircling them with a food can with both ends removed. Push the bottom of the can into the soil. Snails avoid garlic, chives, and wormwood plants and spices. After eating the powder or buds, mice will need water. This causes fatal bloating.
