If you live in a slug-infested area, slug carcasses make an especially effective dead insect bug repellent spray. Crush the insects with a mortar and pestle and place them in a disposable bucket or a large bowl. Add 2 to 3 cups of water. Strain the dead insect mixture through a folded cheesecloth or muslin, and dispose of the carcasses. Pour the mixture into a spray bottle. Spray plants with the dead inspect bug repellent spray as needed.
