For the garden and outdoor areas
1. Extend the life of your garden tools
Spray and wipe your garden tools after each use to prevent rust and ensure that your shovel, rake, and shears last for years to come.
2. Removing resin from garden shears
If sticky resin builds up on your tools after pruning trees, spray, wait a few minutes, and wipe. Your shears will be as good as new again!
3. Protecting terracotta pots from cracking
WD-40 prevents water from soaking into terracotta pots, reducing the chance of cracking in colder weather. Apply it only to the outside of the pot.
4. Repelling snails
If you have a problem with slugs on your plastic pots, spray the spray around the base of the pots. The surface will be slippery and the scent will repel the unwanted visitors.
5. Prevent rust on garden hose connections
Garden hose connections can rust quickly, making them difficult to remove. WD-40 helps remove existing rust and prevents new rust from building up.

Outdoor lights are exposed to moisture, which causes rust. Spray them with WD-40 once a year to extend their lifespan.

Wasps like to build nests under eaves and gutters. Spray them with WD-40 before the season to prevent them from taking over.
