All-Round Insecticide

Tisme's Note:

I like to use home made remedies where possible. They are safe for the environment and a less expensive. This one works a treat. I could not list soapy water....lol............. although you do need it for this recipe. This recipe should not be ingested and KEEP AWAY FROM CHILDREN. I found this recipe from the A.B.C.

I like the fact this uses stuff you already have in your pantry. I didn't have hot chili peppers so I used jalapeno peppers that I had in the freezer already diced up. Unfortunately, I haven't been able to try it yet since it's been raining here quite often whenever I want to spray it on. I will report back whenever I do get to spray it on. I put the concoction in clean mayonnaise jars that I saved so it will be there when I'm ready. I will add the stars whenever I've used the stuff.
