Home made Insecticidal Soap

I found this and though you might like it

Soap has been used for centuries as an all-purpose

pesticide. It disrupts insects’ cell membranes, and kills pests

by dehydration. The key is not to use too much soap, or

you’ll also kill the vegetation near the pests. If you follow

the proportions of soap to water in the Soap Spray recipe,

below, the vegetation should be fine.

1 to 2 tablespoons liquid soap (not detergent)

1 quart water

Combine ingredients in a bucket, mix, then transfer to a

spray bottle as needed.

All Purpose
