So what are some effective homemade organic
pesticides?
Long before our heavy dependence on harmful
chemical based pesticides, farmers and householders
would use their own natural remedies to remove
insect infestations from their crop.
So, what can we use that's inexpensive, all
natural, and efficient for keeping those bugs
out of our home garden?
My first recommendation is neem.
Organic neem is the most powerful natural
pesticide on the planet.
This bitter tree leaf contains over 50 natural
insecticides and can be made into a spray
form or purchased form a number of reputable
companies.
You can make your own neem oil spray by adding
half an ounce of high quality organic neem
oil and half a teaspoon of mild organic soap
to two quarts of warm water.
Stir it slowly, add it to the spray bottle,
and use it immediately.
Another great option is salt spray.
If your plants are infested with spider mites,
mix two tablespoons of Himalayan crystal salt
into one gallon of warm water and spray where
needed.
You can also use mineral oil as a pesticide.
Mix 30 milliliters of high grade mineral oil
into one liter of water, stir, add it to a
spray bottle, and use.
This recipe is especially effective for dehydrating
insects and their eggs.
Citrus oil and cayenne pepper mix a fantastic
ant deterrent.
All you need to do is mix 10 drops of citrus
essential oil with one teaspoon of cayenne
pepper and one cup of warm water.
Shake it well and spray where needed.
Using all natural organic pesticides is a
great way to keep your garden and home free
of common pests.
You'll also feel great knowing that you aren't
ingesting harmful chemicals or toxins while
using these recipes.
