Hi all! I was wondering what other people's recipes are for green pesticides?

I had a problem with sand flies or similar that seems to be under control at the moment and I only used a green pesticide.

This is what I used....

8 chopped Cayenne chillies

4 chopped garlic cloves

1/3 Of a cigarette rollie tobacco

A spoonful of un scented soap shavings

Add 1 litre of boiling water. Let sit for 48 hours, strain and use

Well it's not 100% green but it's close

Please share your recipes!

Chillis have worked for me in the past. Has the added bonus of keaping most pets away

I've used similar recipes like that for ants! and it works for a few days but you have to keep spraying it where they walk every day or two otherwise they just start walking on it again.... i never tried it with tabacco though and I bet that would be a good use for it xD

Whoops, I just created a similar thread... 14ec4th.gif

I've tried hotter chillis (birds-eye) but without the tobacco, which seemed to work for a while, but wasn't as good as pyrethrin. I'm hearing that neem might be a good alternative...
