Does this work on stink bugs??

[webcajun]

@ValyTraveler ... Maybe if you would spray it right on em. The homemade stuff is not 100% effective. It helps but not with all bugs......Donald

So the soap doesn't hurt the food your growing and going to eat?

[webcajun]

@Tamossa … I’ve yet to have a problem with an off taste. I would maybe stop spraying a week or so before harvest and always wash the vegetables before eating which you should do anyway. Use Ivory soap and not detergent……Donald

What is Ivory soap? is it pure white soap you can buy?

[webcajun]

@kimiso159 … Ivory is real soap without all the additives……Donald
