Materials:

  • 3 cloves of garlic

Directions:

Step 1

To start, put your smashed cloves of garlic and chilis in a food processor together with a small amount of water. Blend them well and set them aside. Next, in another bottler, combine 1 tbsp of dishwashing liquid, 1 tbsp of cooking oil, and the garlic and chili mixture. Let the solution sit for one whole day or overnight.

Step 2

After the solution sets, transfer it to a spray bottle. (You can keep this homemade pesticide for up to a week by placing it in a cooler place or in the refrigerator.) Spray the solution to your plants during the morning or late afternoon, and remember that do not apply it during the middle of the day or when the sun is too hot.

Since I lover experiments, I’ve alwaysnloved to create, paint, as well as cook and style food. I feel in love with DIY as soon as I discovered it and could not have been more excited when I learned I could share projects with people around the world. Taking photos is a passion of mine, as is design and painting with oils. I love holidays and celebrations, crafting cute little gifts and serving up at least one new recipe I am excited about.
