Organic Insect Repellent

Mutts Stuff​

Double, double toil and trouble;


Fire burn, and caldron bubble.​

Having searched the net for home made Organic Insect Repellents I found many recipes, promising to help with various bug issues.

I however decided to follow Mutts recipes.

Ingredients

1) 3 Green hot Peppers
2) 3 Garlic Cloves
3) ¾ tsp liquid Soap
4) 3 Cups water

I began by chopping the Peppers and Garlic before adding them to the blender.
I then added 1 cup of water to this mix, blended again and poured into a container where I added 2 more cups of water and the liquid soap.

The mix was then poured into a suitable container; it is now resting for the recommended 24hrs, before I strain it in preparation for use on my plants.

So

Ok Mutts Stuff has rested for 24hrs and is now ready to be strained.

Having strained the pepper n garlic mix three times, sieve, cloth and coffee filter. Its good to go. Time to go and try a test run on a selected limb. I wana make sure this is not going to burn my plants.

No Adverse reactions were noted on my trial run............
Mel has been sprayed twice now.........
Today I plan to make some more of Mutts Stuff.......
and continue spraying as a precaution every couple to three days.

As a quick side note

I have also used this spray on my Brussels Sprouts.
Caterpillars certainly do not like this mix, x2 applications and they die pretty quick.
White flies also appear to have a strong dislike to it, as I move from 1 plant to another, the white flies seem reluctant to land on treated plants.

Hey mel,

while searching the net I did see that a home made Garlic mix was suggested as a Snail repellent.
I’m not sure but I think they may have simmered it for a while also.
If I find the time I may have a look see for you…..
It was also suggested that Garlic granules work well and are found to be more convenient to use.
