To protect your plants, make this powerful natural pesticide with just one teaspoon of this product. Here’s what you’ll need below.
Often you have several plants at home or on your balcony and try to keep them healthy and lush. The first reason why plants could not stay like this, however, is because of pests. It is useless to take care of the plant by watering it and putting it in the right place at home: if it is infested, it will wither and may die after a while.
Pests are one of the enemies of plants and gardeners. Many months of treatment and then they arrive and the plant dies suddenly. They can be small pests or even mold and fungi. Among the first we find several insects and mites that are dangerous for the survival of the plant.
Precisely for this reason today we want to show you how to make a natural pesticide. There are several specific ones on the market designed specifically but most of the time they contain chemicals. We show you how to prepare one in a few minutes and with natural products. All below in the next paragraph.
The recipe for a natural pesticide
As we have just said, we now show you how to prepare a powerful natural pesticide. It takes very little and you won’t even have to spend a lot of money on specific products because it is a completely natural product and you could already have these ingredients at home without having to buy them.
To prepare this natural pesticide you need: 500 ml of milk (even expired is fine) and 1 teaspoon of garlic powder. Then you will also need gauze or cotton cloth, a funnel and an empty sprayer. But let’s see how you have to go about making this pesticide.
The first thing to do is to take a container and pour the milk into it. Then put the teaspoon of garlic powder. Mix well and then leave it on for about 3 hours. After the necessary time has passed, you can take the solution and filter it using gauze or a cotton cloth.
Then with the help of a funnel pour it into a spray bottle. Now you can water the plant regularly with this natural pesticide and you will help it protect itself from pests. Water the plants regularly every 4 days or so and you will see that they will be healthy and lush without any problem. You can use this pesticide on all your plants.
Garlic and milk: pesticides
Both milk and garlic are often used as pesticides for plants. Milk is excellent as the sugars present in it represent a poison for parasites. These cannot digest it and it is therefore a real ally for plants.
Instead, for garlic it is its smell that drives away. This is given by a substance contained in the bulb. It is allicin which is a sulfur compound. The smell has a repellent effect and keeps away both pests and fungi. There are many remedies with garlic and some even put just a clove in the ground.
