Natural Homemade Insecticides

How to Make

Here are a few good insecticide recipes you can make yourself.

    1. Take a couple of tablespoons of ground cloves and mix it with about a quart of water. Spray it on the plants that have infestation problems. Most insects will not like the smell and will avoid these plants.

    2.Take some crushed eggshells and sprinkle them around the base of your plants. Any sort of crawling insect (like worms or snails) will notice how sharp they are and avoid them.

    3.Collect the insect that you want to repel and kill them. Grind them into a powder and mix with a bottle or two of water. Spray this around. It will tend to repel the type of insect you used.
