How do you make the insecticidal soap?
Is there a way or a recipe to make this spray-insecticidal soap? How much water and how much soap and what type of soap? thank you wanda

Using any real soap, that is one made from animal fats such as Ivory, Fels-Naptha, make a gel by soaking the soap in some hot water. When you need to use some about a teaspoon per gallon of water is all that's needed. As with anything used to control pests due care with use is needed since this is a broad spectrum insecticide and will kill off any beneficials as well as pests.
