  OUTDOOR PEST CONTROLS:
     Aphids mix 1 teaspoon of liquid     
     soap in a gallon of water. Spray directly onto bugs.      
     Introduce ladybugs or lace wings into the infested        
     area to eat aphids Caterpillars apply products that       
     contain BACILLUS THURINGIENSIS Snails and slugs Plant     
     onions and marigolds liberally throughout your garden.    
     Place overturned clay pots near shady side of plants.     
     Make sure there is enough room under the edge for         
     snails and slugs to enter. Check under pots during        
     warm part of day and remove.
     
     The following to work well for me: 1. Bone        
     meal dusted in the general area, or encircling the        
     plants. 2. A ring-ridge of diatomaceous earth and sand    
     around plants 3. Garlic/pepper tea sprayed on area to     
     be treated. 

        Recipe for tea follows: >>>> Liquefy 2        
        bulbs of garlic and 2 tsp cayenne pepper in 8 oz          
        water. Strain out solids 24 hours later.  Add enough      
        water to liquid to make 1 gallon concentrate. Shake       
        well before using.  Add 1/4 cup of concentrate to each    
        gallon of water in a pump pressure sprayer.  2 Tbls       
        vegetable oil per gallon of concentrate will make the     
        tea stronger, but I doubt that it is needed for slugs     
        and snails.
