Did you just find out your yard is infested with aphids this year? I’m sorry to hear that! Whether it’s biblical levels of locusts or just an overabundance of aphids, I’ve got your back. No, not literally — that’s a fire hazard. Below you’ll find a roundup of my favorite homemade organic pesticide recipes for aphids and other insects. These sprays are toxic to most garden pests (the good kind) and are easy to make and apply. Some people enjoy combining chemical solutions with home-brewed sprays – but personally I don’t have time for that. Here is a mix-and-match guide to using your kitchen shelf ingredients to control aphids in the vegetable patch. Aphids are a common garden pest that that can quickly ruin your flowering plants. They suck the juices from the stems and leaves of your plants and you’ll know about them when the leaves curl up and the plant stops producing flowers.I’m sure you’ve had your share of black spots on your broccoli. And no, it’s not where you placed the broccoli so that sun wouldn’t shine on them (or is it?). It is from that little green bug with orange wings attacking your poor broccoli plants.
Homemade Insecticide For Aphids
Do you have aphids on your plant?
It’s no secret that the market for homemade pesticides is booming. With so many options available, it can be hard to figure out which products are worth investing in and which one will just waste your time.

The best way to get rid of aphids is to use a homemade insecticide. The ingredients for this recipe are all-natural, and you can use them in your garden or on your plants without worrying about hurting the environment.
The ingredients are:
-1/3 cup of soap (any kind will do)
-2 tablespoons of vegetable oil
-2 tablespoons of hot pepper sauce (this is optional)
Mix all three ingredients together and pour directly onto the aphids. You’ll want to make sure that they’re completely covered in the mixture before you start spraying it on them. After they’re covered, leave them alone for a few hours so that they can die off naturally and won’t be able to spread their eggs around anymore!
