Home-made Remedies

Late afternoon is the better time for spraying. 
The following recipes are preventative sprays for deterring insect pests.

Recipe. Chop 90 grams of garlic, cover with mineral oil let soak over night, strain, add 1 litre of soapy water and store in a glass jar with a sealed lid.

Dilute one part garlic to 50 parts water for use in spraying.


(Harmless to animals and humans) Recipe:  two heaped tablespoons pyrethrum flowers, stand in one litre of hot soapy water for one hour, strain and use (the soap will help the spray to stick on the plants.) 
Do not inhale the fumes as they are toxic.


Blend fresh chillies in water, add pure soap, strain and spray. Acts as a stomach poison and can be used against caterpillars. Spray along ant trails or kitchen shelves as an ant repellent. Used by beekeepers to keep ants from hives.
