Here’s a short and sweet recipe to help with pest control for garden and house plants, as borrowed from TipNut. You can use this as a preventative spray as well as a bug and pest killer.

Ingredients:

1 cup Sunlight dish soap
1 TBS vegetable oil

Directions:

• Mix ingredients together then store in a plastic, airtight container.
• When you’re ready to spray your plants, take 1 to 2 teaspoons of the concentrate and mix with a quart of water. Pour into a spray bottle.
• Spray your plants making sure to get underneath the leaves as well as the flower buds and new shoots.
• In hot weather, repeat every third day (3 applications over 7 days).
• Warm to cool weather, spray once a week for 3 weeks.
