I have been doing general research on pesticides. Some of the formulas seem complicated and apply to only certain pests. I found one that said if you put onions, garlic, dish soap and cayenne into a bunch of water blended it would keep just about anything away. As a first try I used just the garlic. The soap and pepper made me nervous and I don't really see a big difference between garlic and onion except size and strength. My plants were covered with little flying insects that looked like gnats. There were ends that looked like they had been torn off. They didn't have the usual holes in the leaves you see with worms or flying pests. I had brought them inside because birds were eating the leaves of all my herbs, the ones I cook with and the ones I smoke. I sprayed the plants thoroughly with the garlic water, 3 cloves of garlic mixed with a cup or two of water. The bugs went away and have not returned. It smelled, something awful, but it worked. I think I need to do it a couple times a month. So far so good. Any input would be good.

Grow green.

dishsoap won't kill ur plant?

No it's actually ok. Just use a small amount of soap. (I use about 3 drops per gallon water) The detergent in the soap disrupts the membranes of the bugs. Also it acts as a surfactant.

dish soap will get rid ofe aphids if you mix water and soap 1 gal. one tablespoon it also lowers the waters stress level and makes it stick to the plants better(not sure if its called stress i dnt remember but still works the same)
