All-Purpose Bug Spray

"This recipe came from my mom, as I'm having trouble with tomato bugs. She got it out of a gardening magazine. I just tried another homemade bug killer recipe, and will try this and let you know how it does for me, or if anyone would like to try it I'd love to know your results."

  1. This seems to be working. I sprayed it on hibiscus plants for white flies. They're looking alot better so I will keep applying this.
     
  2. This worked well on many different bugs, not only on house plants but on some large leave garden plants. It also makes the leaves shiny.

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY

Thanks for checking out my about me page. Jeff is my husband of 8 years. We have 1 dog that someone dropped off at the side of the road and I brought home, and she rules the house. I love dogs, and hate to see a dog tied up and forgotten. I love to grow different kinds of tomatoes from seed to can, and give the "extras" away (when I'm working and don't have time to can).
