Soap Pest Spray

Mix two tablespoons liquid Ivory soap and one gallon water. Use a spray bottle to apply to your plant's leaves. It will help eliminate aphids, cinch bugs, spider mites, and white flies.

Other than liquid Ivory soap, can I use different brand of liquid soap? Thanks!

This works great if you don't want pesticides. Try to avoid the flowers of garden plants, as they won't get pollinated.

Thanks so much for the info. I have tried this in the past. But, I was not told about using Ivory. I used the dish soap I had on hand, and it did not work. I will give this a go. Thanks again.
