|
Answer» Solution :Step 1: Mix 120 g of hot chillies with 110 g of garlic or onion. Chop them thoroughly. Step 2: Blend the vegetables together manually or using an electric grinder until it forms a THICK paste. Step 3: Add the vegetable paste to 500 ml of warm water. Give the INGREDIENTS a stir to thoroughly mix them together. Step 4: Pour the soultion into a glass container and leave it undisturbed for 24 hours. If possible, keep the container in a sunny location. If not, at least keep the mixture in a warm place. Step 5: Strain the mixture. Pour the solution through a strainer, remove the vegetables and collect the vegetable-infused water and pour into another container. This filtrate is the pesticide. Either discard the vegetables or use it as a compost. Step 6: Pour the pesticide into a squirt bottle. Make sure that the spray bottle has FIRST been CLEANED with warm water and soap to get rid it of any potential contaminants. Use a funnel to transfer the liquid into the squirt bottle and replace the nozzle. Step 7: Spray your plants with the pesticide. TREAT the infected plants every 4 to 5 days with the solution. After 3 or 4 treatments, the pest will be eliminated. If the area is thoroughly covered with the solution, this pesticide should keep bugs away for the rest of the season. |
