USE GLOVES!!! 2 CUPS HOT PEPPERS HABANERO OR THE HOTTEST YOU CAN GET, 1 ONION, 5 - 8 CLOVES OF GARLIC ,2 CUPS WARM WATER 2-3 TBS MURPHY’S SOAP BLEND THOROUGHLY, LET SIT OVERNIGHT, FILTER THRU A PAINT BAG OR PANTYHOSE ADD TO 1 GALLON OF WATER(WARM)FOR GOOD MIXING, USE SPRAYER PREFERABLY WAND TYPE. !!!USE GLOVES !!!
Getting rid of SQUASH BUGS ----- 2 tablespoons blue (original) Dawn detergent to 2 cups of water. Using cheap spray bottle, spray under leaves and right on the bugs. They die within a minute because the soap covers their body and they don't breathe anymore. If you find a bunch of little eggs on a leaf just rub with straight detergent. That also stops them . I use this mixture on cucumbers and peppers.
PS: FROM WHAT IS LEFT AFTER FILTERING USE THE SCRAPS FOR MULCH TO HELP WITH THE 4 LEGGED CRITTERS.
