Homemade Natural Insect Killer

Homemade natural insect killer can give you the peace of mind that you are not spraying hard-to-pronounce chemicals around your garden and home. It is especially critical to use non-toxic insect killer if you have pets and children playing in the yard. Natural insect killers work by drying out the waxy surface on bugs. Timing is also an essential element when using natural insect killers. You should choose a time in the morning when there is no threat of rain to wash off the natural pesticide to ensure that it comes in contact with bugs. Does this Spark an idea?

Instructions


1. Give your ornamental plants a good spraying the day before applying pesticide to remove excess pests.


2. Mix in a bucket 1 gallon of water, 2 tbsp. of vegetable cooking oil, and 2 tbsp. of a de-greasing dishwashing liquid.


3. Pour the mixture into a water bottle and save the rest in a sealable container.


4. Dry off any wet leaves of the plant with a towel. Spray the mixture, so that it covers the crown of the plant down to 3 inches from the ground.


5. Lift the leaves of the plant and spray underneath.


6. Repeat the natural insect killer application every week.
