How to make garlic alcohol, the most powerful natural insecticide and fungicide in the world

By Lesia

There are natural remedies that can replace all these products, while achieving very similar results. In this article we explain how to prepare a natural and 100% organic  insecticide and  fungicide .

It can happen, in the garden or on the balconies, that our plants become filled with insects. These unpleasant guests, in addition to being very annoying, can also compromise the growth and development of the plant.

In this regard, we suggest the recipe for garlic alcohol, a natural  insecticide that will allow us to keep insects away from our plants.

To prepare a half liter bottle you need 5 or  6 cloves of garlic, water, white alcohol (70 or 90) and a few drops of biodegradable dish soap.

Grind the garlic cloves and put them in the bottle, then fill it half with water and half with alcohol. Add the drops of dish soap and shake slowly.

Leave to macerate for a few hours, then spray directly on the plants. The alcohol and garlic based insecticide works against fleas, ants, wasps, ladybugs and flies.

The natural insecticide can last for several weeks, as long as it is stored in the dark and in a cool place (not in the fridge).

Garlic has  insecticidal , repellent and  fungicidal properties , while alcohol helps extract all the properties of garlic.
