Eco-Friendly Aphid Killer

8/11/2014

0 Comments

 
If your garden is plagued by aphids, I suggest using a natural remedy for these little pests.  With a few simple ingredients, you can make your own homemade solution for just pennies!  

1 tsp. olive oil
1 tsp. dish soap
1 gallon water

Mix these ingredients together in a spray bottle.  Apply to aphid infestations ensuring all affected surfaces of the plant are saturated.  Results are rapid and should be noticed immediately.

Note:  After 15 minutes to half an hour, spray the plant well using your garden hose to remove any residue as it may harm the plant.  You may use this remedy every 7-10 days as needed.
