Powerful Homemade Insecticide: Keep Your Garden Insect-Free Naturally

Mix Ingredients

In a spray bottle, combine water, dish soap, and neem or vegetable oil.

If using garlic or essential oils, crush or add them to the mixture.

Shake Well

Shake the bottle until all ingredients are fully blended.

Apply to Plants

Spray directly on affected leaves, stems, and soil, covering both tops and undersides of leaves where insects often hide.

Apply in the morning or late afternoon to avoid direct sun contact, which can burn leaves.

Repeat as Needed

Reapply every 5–7 days or after rain for ongoing protection.
