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 chillies4 chopped garlic cloves1/3 Of a cigarette rollie tobacco A spoonful of un scented soap shavingsAdd 1 litre of boiling water. Let sit for 48 hours, strain and useWell it's not 100% green but it's closePlease share your recipes! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Foo Posted March 28, 2013 Share Posted March 28, 2013 (edited) Chillis have worked for me in the past. Has the added bonus of keaping most pets away Edited March 28, 2013 by eatfoo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bert&Ernie Posted March 28, 2013 Share Posted March 28, 2013 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DELETED ACCOUNT Posted September 3, 2014 Share Posted September 3, 2014 Whoops, I just created a similar thread... 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...
