I got bugs in my Native Garden- so frustrating- The non- native roses I can’t kill or dig up are going like gangbusters. The Calla Lilies keep sprouting up all over the place- no problem with bugs! In my own ‘reuse (FREE) way decided to try the Tobacco Pest Control Recipe’
Does it ever work! Even made up a batch for a friend- who now is a convert to Tobacco Pest Control. This will be my new ‘gift’ for friends- It’s easy and it’s free!
This is what I did-
1.) Collected water from shower (saving water)
2.) Poured water into (recycled Gallon Ice Cream Container) and yes this does look disgusting.
3.) Put cigerettes (whole) into water
4.) Covered and let sit for how long?
5.) Poured liquid into old spray bottles
6.) Sprayed bugs- GONE!
If you smoke, you will have plenty of cigarette butts, if you don’t smoke, maybe some of your friends will save some butts for you- Don’t have any smoking friends- Take your gloves to the streets and collect on the streets, saving the environment and your money!
Good Luck, I highly recommend it!
Tabacco is a NON-SELECTIVE pest control..it will kill everything, the good (bees-there is a shortage/ladybugs, you name it) guys and the bad guys. The end result is that whatever problem you had is now multiplied because the natural prevention has been killed off…if you are gardening organically–not at all. There are lots of ways to eliminate only the pest.
pest control is very necessary specially if you have an old house that is vulnerable to pest attacks-.`
Yet another great article! Totally can’t wait for more!
