An effective homemade solution for garden pests: caterpillars, stink bugs, ants and whiteflies.

Ingredients:

• 1/2 cup chopped chili peppers (cayenne, jalapeño or habanero)
• 1/2 cup garlic cloves
• 2 cups of water
• 1 tablespoon of liquid soap (preferably biodegradable and non-toxic)

Instructions:

1. Blend the chopped chiles and garlic cloves in a blender with enough water for a smooth mixture.
2. Pour the mixture into a saucepan, add the rest of the water and cook over low heat for 20 minutes to extract the natural repellents from the ingredients.
3. Let the mixture cool, strain it into a storage container and add the liquid soap. Stir well.

Application:

• Test the solution on a small portion of plants before applying it completely.
• Apply the mixture to the affected areas early in the morning or late afternoon.
• Repeat application as necessary, especially after heavy rain.

Precautions:

• Use gloves and protective glasses when handling the mixture.
• Avoid contact with skin and eyes. Rinse with water if contact occurs.

Remember:

• Be selective when using the spray, focusing on areas with serious pests.
• Avoid damaging beneficial insects such as bees and ladybugs.
