Make Orange Oil Pesticide

Pesticides are often necessary in order to keep plants and flowers from being completely destroyed. If the pests bothering your plants include flies, ticks, mosquitoes and aphids, you need to make an orange oil pesticide. You can purchase one from a store, but it will contain other harsh chemicals that won't be good for your plants. Making one is a better option.


Instructions


1. Place the garlic bulbs and cayenne peppers in a blender and liquefy.


2. Mix the garlic/pepper liquid with one gallon of water.


3. Add your orange oil to the water and mix all of the ingredients together. This makes a natural pesticide in concentrate form.


4. Place three tbsp. of your concentrate in an empty spray bottle. Fill the spray bottle with water. Use on your plants.


Tips Warnings


If you don't have orange oil, you can make your own by soaking two whole orange peels in a gallon of water.


Be careful when using oils on your flowers and plants. They can be kill the plants if used frequently.


Pesticides can also kill insects that may be beneficial for your plants. Only use if you have a bad insect problem.
