They are scared of garlic, a branch of wild rose and hawthorn plant is said to harm them, and in Europe, sprinkling mustard seeds on the roof of a house was said to keep them away because they get distracted from counting the seeds. Other things vampires are scared of are a crucifix, a rosary, and holy water. Apparently pure water can make their skin melt, and they cannot cross running water. Mirrors have also been used to ward off vampires when placed facing outwards on a door. Some also hold that a vampire cannot enter a house unless invited by the owner, although after the first invitation they can come and go as they please. They are also weak to sunlight. Another way to get rid of them is to stake them in the heart (but you have to behead them afterwards or they won't stay dead). I also advise to wear jewelry with crosses on them.

Also, it helps to put a fishing net over your door because then they have to count the knots.
