Integrated Pest Management - Essential Oil Spray

[GthaEnigma]

That was my thinking that planting with will repel before they get there. The ol' "get off my lawn" type of plant buddy.

I don't consider any of that nasty as long as you're not spraying bees or pouring Spinosad into the creek.

I rotate Nuke 'Em, Plant Therapy, my oil mix above, Orchard Strength Pyretrin/Sulfur for my outdoors.

For the most part Plant Therapy alone keeps everything indoors safe.

You been liking that Nuke em' stuff? I ordered some last night, starting to battle some spider mites! fuckin' nasty little bastards. Oh well only got a week of flower left to fight them, then going to strip down the tent, bleach everyting in there, all the equipent, everything around it, brand new soil, all pots through the washing machine, etc.

I honestly do not like any of it but I would rotate between Plant Therapy and Nuke 'em. Careful with the PT on flowering plants as it has ISO in it. If it melts bugs it will do the same to oils on your plants.

Well peppermint and spearmint are used as repels, not sure if mint attracts beneficials or not. Here is a list I found of some plants to use for attracting some goodies to the garden.

I have both growing in my gardens. I also grow geraniums and citronella

Plant you some Dill and Fennel with that and your bug bodyguards will do the rest

+1 Citronella

We grow citronella also..keeps skeeters at bay..

Natural, has some power, haven't finished tweaking the "water, soap, iso" ratios
...Been using this on veggies and ornamental with success.

Citronella/Citronella Oil 15%
Rosemary Oil 10%
Water, Soap, Isopropyl Alcohol 75% (iso though may need replaced ..yup?)
