Break the Pest Cycle with This Simple Spray

Use when you have an infestation and want to disrupt the life cycle of the pest. The oil sticks to the pest’s body while also targeting eggs and young pests, preventing them from being replaced over time.

Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons soap
  • 1 cup cooking oil (vegetable or canola)
  • 1 cup water

Method

  1. Mix the soap and oil in a bowl.
  2. Take 3 tablespoons of this mixture and add to 1 cup of water.
  3. Pour into a spray bottle and shake well.
  4. Store remaining soap and oil mixture for later use.

Application

Spray directly on pests. Be sure to coat both sides of leaves and cover pests and eggs thoroughly for best results.
