Basil

Basil is considered a plant with many properties that can improve your health. It also serves to extend the life of plants, as it is a useful repellent and insecticide. A basil-based preparation can repel whiteflies and even aphids, moths and worms. To make this powerful repellent, you only have to crush the leaves and flowers of the basil with a mortar, take them to a container with water and let them macerate for a week. The resulting liquid will be your best ally against pests.

Netlle

Nettle is not only irritating to humans but also to specific pests. Besides being an excellent fertilizer, it also works as a pesticide against aphids; for its preparation, you only have to mix a handful of nettle leaves with 10 liters of water, let it rest for two to four days and finally separate the liquid from the leaves.

Lavender

Lavender is a plant that can attract insects, such as bees and butterflies, which are beneficial to other plants. However, it also serves to scare away other small insects, such as ants, that can destroy your garden. Adequate preparation is lavender leaves (300 grams) with a liter of water; you make an infusion with these ingredients and let it cool before spraying the plants.

Cow's milk

Believe it or not, this typical kitchen element is also used to combat certain pests such as fungus. In some cases it can be useful to just mix equal parts of water and milk and spray on plants with those annoying white fungus on their leaves. A similar mixture can also be prepared with water, milk and baking soda. Likewise, to combat insect eggs you can mix fresh milk with 4 cups of flour and 20 lt of water.

Tobacco

Tobacco can be as harmful to some pests as it is to us. A widespread use of tobacco is as a pesticide against red spider mite, aphid, and whitefly. The tobacco preparation is quite simple, mix 50 or 60 grams of tobacco with 1 liter of water and about 10 grams of neutral soap or natural; you must boil this mixture for 5 minutes and separate the liquid from the solid. After using it, remember to let it work and then wash the plants with clean water.
