Anyone use insecticide soap?

We made some organic insecticide soap for our veggies - since this is just a soap and water mix I'm assuming it will need to be reapplied after rain. Other than that, how often should we apply?

Re: Anyone use insecticide soap?

  • You should really only apply *on* bugs.  Applying on leaves (w/out any aphids or other bugs) isn't going to really do much.  So, directly apply on soft-bodied insects liberally and repeatedly until they are dead/gone away.
  • Dang, there goes my super lazy bug control idea Stick out tongue

    What about sprays with garlic and peppers? Do they need to sprayed directly or will it deter pests when sprayed directly on the plants?
