Environmentally-Friendly Anti-Bug Spray
If you love cooking and gardening, are a fan of garlic and don’t want to harm the environment, then the easiest solution is to mix chopped garlic with water and a dash of washing-up liquid; pour the mixture into a spray bottle and spray it onto your plants. (just choose a reasonable quality spray bottle because the cheaper ones tend to pack-up as the garlic tends to jam the pipe and spray mechanism.
To discourage your dogs from peeing on your plants, and garden furniture, add a dash of lemon juice to the mix as lemon juice is the best deterrent for that problem.
Compost Bin
On the subject of gardening; a compost bin is a great way to help the environment; as well as providing an ongoing supply of compost for your garden. If you are a do-it-yourselfer, you can make your own compost bin from wooden planks with a mesh 2/3 of the way down, so the compost can fall through the mesh into the bottom section of the bin.
You will need an accelerant to speed-up the breakdown of the organic materials, which you can get from a hardware store.
Anti-barking Tool
If you have small dogs as Brenda and I do, you are likely to experience frenzied bouts of barking whenever strangers walk past your property, or even when you take your dogs for a walk.
This can become quite irritating to your family, your neighbours and the passers-by. We solved this problem when we discovered a neat little handheld gadjet that sends out a high-pitched signal (that is heard by the dogs but can't be heard by humans), and a red light when you point it at your noisy dogs, which quietens them down quite quickly and doesn't harm the dogs.
