The Farmer’s 6 Pest Control Solutions

Orange Peel Soak for Small Flying Insects

Take one orange peel and soak it in water overnight.
Use the infused water to spray your plants and repel small flying insects like whiteflies.
This solution works as a natural deterrent and adds a pleasant citrus aroma to your garden.

White Vinegar and Dish Soap for Sticky Bugs

Mix 1 part white vinegar with 1 part dish soap in water.
Spray this solution on sticky bugs like aphids and mealybugs, which cling to leaves and stems.
The soap breaks down their protective coating, while the vinegar acts as a natural insecticide.

Laundry Detergent Solution for Red Spiders

Dilute a mild laundry detergent in water (1 tablespoon of detergent to 1 liter of water).
Spray this solution on affected plants, focusing on the undersides of leaves where red spiders often hide.
This mixture suffocates the spiders while being gentle on plants.

Chili and Garlic Water for Cabbage Worms

Blend chili peppers and garlic with water, then strain the mixture.
Spray it on cabbage leaves to repel cabbage worms and other leaf-eating insects.
This spicy formula is a natural irritant that pests can’t stand.

Why These Natural Solutions Work

The secret behind these formulas lies in their ability to target pests while leaving beneficial insects unharmed. Unlike chemical pesticides, these methods are eco-friendly, cost-effective, and safe for your vegetables, flowers, and even fruits. They also reduce the risk of chemical buildup in the soil, ensuring your garden remains healthy for years to come.
