Homemade Aphid Repellant
Question:
I am looking for a homemade aphid repellant recipe. I know I have used one before but the recipe has escaped me.
Thanks,
Stan.
Answer:
Stan,
Try this recipe for getting rid of aphids:
- 2 cloves garlic
- 1 small onion (finely chopped)
- 1 tablespoon of ivory dish soap
- 2 cups of water
Combine these ingredients into a blender or food processor on high. Strain the pulp from the liquid using cheesecloth, a nylon stocking or a fine-meshed colander. Pour the remaining liquid into a spray bottle and spray it directly on flowers or plants to control aphids. Another easy method is to use a strong spray from a garden hose every few days until the aphids are no longer visible.
