Hi Stan
Sometime ago I caught part of a program
to do with a household bug killer
but I never caught the name of it or the recipe. Is it the Doktor
Doom products?
Listened to your show for years going to minor hockey games and
practices, like it a lot.
Thanks
Ian
Ian - Thanks for your quick and to the
point query.
I often give household or alternate pesticide control recipes,
and expect the one you heard was the nicotine one. Very toxic
to plant pests and humans!!!
Soak 3 or4 used cigarettes in a cup of warm water for a day or
so.
Strain the water to extract the brownish residue, and transfer
the liquid to a quart of warm water,
Add 2 tablespoons of dormant or household cooking oil and 1 tablespoon
of liquid soap to the quart of water.
This is the pesticide that works well on most of our worst pests
on plants, but not edible ones !
Doktor Doom is the one to use with confidence on ornamentals
and garden produce. Specifically, the container of Botanics,
and with the white cap.
Thanks for listening.
