Natural Pesticides - Preparation 1,2,3

Here are step-by-step instructions for the preparation of natural pesticides for getting rid of pests in your garden,home or office.  It may be a harsh chemical that you don't want in your home and that is your reasoning for going natural o instead of the harsh substances in the store, RIGHT?!?   If I am correct, and if your are reading this then  . . . . I AM CORRECT! 


Let's get started . . . 


If you get some boric acid powder, you can mix up all kinds of natural insecticide.  For ants, you can put together a tablespoon of boric acid, a teaspoon of sugar, and some water.  Put it on a cotton ball and set it out where ants go.  Getting rid of ants will also decrease the possibility of having aphids.  


Roaches are a easy one to tackle, it's simple.  Just set out the powder where the roaches run.  Boric acid can be mixed with a non-toxic version of anti-freeze called propylene glycol to kill termites.  A natural insecticide can be made that is safe for use around children and pets just by using boric acid and household ingredients.  You can mix the acid with water in a 10% solution for use on surfaces.  


You can make a natural insecticide for use on small pests that you get on plants.  You can make a garlic spray.  Take a good amount of garlic and chop it up finely.  Add paraffin oil and soak it for a full day.  


Next, dissolve some soap in water and slowly add that.  After you stir it up, strain it in cheese cloth.  Only store it in a container that is made of glass.  Your natural insecticide is ready to use.  


When doing battle with aphids, you can make a natural insecticide that is a stinging nettle spray.  Just take some nettles and soak them in water for about three weeks.  After this is finished fermenting, dilute it with water.  It is ready to spray.  


Believe it or not, there are several methods for killing the Colorado potato beetle.  You can make a natural insecticide tea by soaking cedar chips.  Then make it into a spray to apply to leaves.  


Another foliage spray used as a natural insecticide against this destructive pest is tansy spray.  Dry out the tansy and grind it up.  You can do this with a mortar and pestle if you have one.  Then, mix it with water to make the spray.  


For my friends the cutworms, you can make another natural insecticide spray by using pineapple weed and water mixed together as a natural insecticide.  Or, you can use sagebrush extract with water.  If you just want to immobilize them, you can mix molasses with bran and sawdust.  Put this on plants in the evening.  


My biggest foe is Tomato hornworms destroy tomatoes and other crops.  For a natural insecticide, you can lightly cover the area around the plants with cornmeal they will try to eat it.  Their digestive systems can't handle it and they will pop.  


There is a spray that can be made as a natural insecticide for many small soft-bodied bugs.  You will need to use a spoonful of canola oil and a few drops of liquid soap.  This gets rid of mealy bugs, aphids, and mites.  


Trust me when I say that there are many other kinds of natural insecticide that can be used to get rid of pests.  You can't concoct them all in your own kitchen, either.  However, when you can, it makes using natural insecticide that much easier.
