    Make Your Own Insecticide
    Red pepper spray is a good general insecticide and is especially effective against caterpillars. You’ll have to use this homemade spray more often than a chemical spray, but it’s much gentler on the environment. For your own safety, wear gloves when handling peppers and pepper spray.

    Red Pepper Spray Concentrate:

    * 1 unpeeled onion
    * 1 unpeeled head of garlic
    * 1 tablespoon cayenne pepper
    * 3 pints water

    1. Chop onion and garlic and combine all ingredients in a saucepan. Simmer 20 minutes.

    2. Cool and store in jars in the refrigerator for 6 weeks.

    3. Strain and store in jars.

    To use, dilute 1 tablespoon of concentrate with 1 pint of water. Add a little Ivory snow. Shake and spray on plant.
