Garlic Pest Control Spray

I've recently discovered Dave's Garden forums, and wanted to share a promising natural remedy for a variety of garden pests. I've had good luck with adding a few drops of oil and dish soap to a sprayer bottle of water, but I'm going to try this as well. Apparently this works well on plants in the cabbage family that can't tolerate any sort of oil spray.

Garlic Spray

1) Juice 2 cloves of garlic into a dish of water and let sit for a day or two. Strain.

2) Add an equal amount of rubbing alcohol and mix.

3) Use 5 parts of water to 1 part of the above mix and put in a spray bottle.

4) Store in a cool dry place when not in use

5) Make sure to label as a non-food item!
