What Do You Use WD-40 For?

You can actually use it on your pumpkins!

According to the official WD-40 website, once you're done carving your pumpkin for Halloween make sure to spray some WD-40 on the gourd. This will actually make your spooky friend last longer.

DO NOT SPRAY THIS NEAR A LIT CANDLE AND MAKE SURE TO WIPE AWAY ANY EXCESS LIQUID WITH SOME SORT OF CLOTH OR RAG

Why Should I Use WD-40 on My Pumpkins?

Not only does spraying a bit of this substance give it an extra bit of shine, but it will keep pests away from your pumpkins.

According to House Digest, the spray will give the vegetable a thin, slippery coating that will make it nearly impossible for bugs to nibble on your decoration. The scent of the WD-40 will also keep pests and animals from getting to it.

However, if you have an animal that might go anywhere near the pumpkin or jack-o-lantern, it might be best to steer clear of this. WD-40 could poison your furry friend if ingested.
