Non-Toxic Pest Killer

From Nancy, our Fiske Terrace Association neighbor:

Our gardening season is now in 'full swing'! Everything is coming up.

Roses and Iris and Peonies and, and, and ... a few pests may be coming up too.

I've done a little research into insecticidal soaps and other de-bugging concoctions and have found an easy, non-toxic and cheap solution (play on words intended)!

Using a quart size spray bottle (clean reuse or inexpensive at Almac)  

mix:

1 tsp dish detergent

1 Cup Rubbing alcohol

1 quart water

shake and spray - this will kill mites and scale and should be sprayed on the areas you see any infestation.  There, you are ready to de-bug your plants - both indoor and outdoor!

Happy gardening!
