Here is your go-to homemade bug spray for your garden, to use on any unwanted pests. We recently used this spray on our grape and berry vines that were being eaten by the spotted lantern fly and Japanese beetles, which come around every June hence the name “June beetle”. I spray for these on the plants about every 3 days and noticed the population dropping off until it was virtulally gone.
I love this recipe because it uses an emulsifier such as Thieves cleaner which also repels bugs on it’s own, but if you don’t have that, you can replace it with witch hazel in this recipe.
Ingredients
Method
- Spray on plants about every 3 days until you notice the bug population decreasing and eventually gone. If you don't have one or more of these specific oils, just add more drops of the oils you have.
