Hi friends, I decided to write this article to share my idea of how to make homemade pesticides for homesteads or gardens. It was not easy to find such a recipe on the internet. Almost all the sites were trying to sell some magic artificial solution that may or may not work. And indeed I had almost given up when I googled and found it at last on the Organic Gardening website.   I get lots of inquiries from people who want to know how to make homemade pesticides for plants. You might be one of them, and I’m hoping I’ll be able to ease your mind and give you all the information you need to know about how to mix and preserve your own homemade pesticide spray. Let’s face it, most commercial pesticides available on the market are FULL of toxins, chemicals, and heavy metals that are dangerous for humans and pets (if spilled). Just look at the front warnings label: they go overboard in trying to protect users from actually using the stuff! Natural pesticide for plants has never been as safe and easily available as it is now. The toxic chlorinated hydrocarbons we used to spray on our plants are now banned and no longer in use.

How To Make Homemade Pesticide For Plants

Introduction

Organic gardeners often turn to homemade pesticides to keep garden pests at bay. These non-toxic, environmentally friendly insecticides can be just as effective as commercial pesticides if you use them correctly. Homemade organic pesticides are safe to use around children and pets, are inexpensive, and work well on a variety of garden pests. Here’s how to make your own homemade pesticide for plants:

Put one medium sized onion and one large clove of garlic in two cups of water and boil.

Here’s how to make this simple and effective pesticide spray:

• Put one medium sized onion and one large clove of garlic in two cups of water and boil.
• Use less if you want, but don’t use more because it might not be as effective if there’s too much water for the bugs to absorb the chemicals from the onion and garlic (you can add more later if needed).
• Once boiled, leave the onion/garlic in the water for ten minutes longer than what you normally would before pouring them out into a bowl or cup you’ll be using for when needed later on during application time (this will help kill off any remaining microorganisms on top of being added back into your mixture after cooling down enough so they don’t spoil anything else).

Allow the mixture to cool.

When the mixture is cool enough to spray, you can start the fun part: spraying.

Strain out the vegetables.

• Strain out the vegetables. Using a fine mesh strainer, strain the vegetables out of the water and into another container. You’ll still want to use some of your vegetable water in subsequent steps, but if you’re concerned about how much pesticide you’re using or what kinds of ingredients are in your mix, now is a good time to remove most of them.
• Let it soak for at least a couple hours. Leave the strained vegetable matter sitting in its new home overnight so that all those nutrients have time to leech out into the liquid below. This will be easier if you do it after work or on an evening when you don’t need access to your kitchen—and it’s even better if you can leave it alone overnight with some kind of lid on top (it’s okay if there are chunks floating around).
• Use within 24 hours of soaking (or sooner). As soon as possible after straining out all those veggies, start using that extra-concentrated mixture on plants! Pour some into your favorite spray bottle and go forth with spraying away! If this isn’t feasible for whatever reason—such as being busy with other duties—you can always store any unused portion in some sort of airtight container like a mason jar or Tupperware container until later use needs arise again later down the line (within 24 hours ideally).

Pour the water into a spray bottle and use this on your garden produce, houseplants, and flowers.

Once you have the mixture and your spray bottle, use this solution to water your plants. To make sure the mixture is cool before spraying, pour some into the spray bottle and shake it up. Then test on a small patch of the plant first—spray a small amount on one leaf at a time to see if it causes any damage. If not, you should be good to go! Be sure not to use too much at once; too much can cause damage as well.

You can make an effective pesticide spray using just hot water and some garlic/onion

You may be wondering what the point of this article is, since you can buy pesticide at the store. And you’d be right to wonder that, because there are a lot of reasons why you might want to make your own pesticide in the first place:

• It’s natural and organic. Unlike many commercial pesticides, homemade pesticides do not contain harsh chemicals that can harm people or the environment. They’re also made from ingredients that are readily available around the house, so they’re inexpensive as well as safe.
• You can use them on plants indoors or outdoors—or both! Homemade pesticides work well on indoor plants because they don’t require strong sunlight in order to work; this means that any plant will benefit from using a homemade pesticide spray whether it lives outdoors or not (as long as it has room for growth). If you have several different kinds of shrubbery growing around your house—and especially if some are more susceptible than others—you’ll feel confident knowing that each one is getting exactly what it needs without having any adverse effects on its neighbors nearby.”

Conclusion

With the climate change crisis, it is more important than ever to learn about how you can use natural products to keep your plants healthy. In this post, we have shown you how easy it can be to make homemade pesticide without any dangerous chemicals in just five minutes. It doesn’t get easier than that! I hope these tips help you out with any pest infestations that might come up in your home or garden.
