Once in a while it seems we /must/ bite the bullet and actually use a '-cide'. While we seem to be able to usually manage household and plant pests with care and nature's remedies, after bringing home a potted jade plant that went from vibrant and robust to 3 short stalks with only 2 leaves each due to teensy little buggers. The jade recovered, I didn't worry about the cats if they nibbled, and it got rid of the munchers that were feasting on my pomegranate tree, too! Who knew???
Ingredients:
1 gallon water
8 ounces 3% hydrogen peroxide (food grade if using on herbs, veggies, etc)
8 ounces white sugar
Directions:

2. Spray on plants as needed to control insects.
3. Tip: If plant has large or droopy leaves, be sure to spritz underneath them a bit, too.
