Simple and Effective Ways to Prepare Your Organic Insecticides

There are so many organic insecticides that are very effective at different kinds of pest. The best thing is you can prepare them in a very low cost.

For example, the most common soap spray can be made with dishwashing detergent and water. Spray on leaves or directly to the insects to kill them. This non toxic insecticide washes away the outer covering of an insect, causing the cells to collapse. Soap spray can be very effective at flea, beetles, aphids, spider mites, whiteflies, and spider mites. For better usage, you can always add some vegetable oils to it.

People value neem oil as a powerful substance as natural insecticide. Neem oil can upset the hormone of the insects causing them “forgotten” to eat or prevents them to develop to the matured stage. For some small, soft-bodied insects like aphids or whitefly, the oil coated their body and suffocates them. Neem oil is so great that it only harms chewing and sucking insects. They are safe for human, pets, and beneficial insects.

To prepare a neem oil spray, you need a tablespoon of neem oil, a quart (or liter) of warm water, half tablespoon of detergent. You need to mix the warm water with detergent first before adding neem oil because oil does not dissolve in water.
