Natural Insect Repellent

Check your overwintered plants for pests, focusing on the undersides of leaves for common invaders like aphids. Remove any affected leaves and use water sprays to dislodge soft-bodied pests, while harder pests may require different methods. As temperatures rise, watch for whiteflies and manage them with water sprays. Utilize insecticidal soap, such as peppermint castile soap, along with peppermint and garlic oil as natural deterrents. Follow mixing instructions and spray your plants regularly for the best results.
