It is not a good time to be experimenting with a John Wayne style snake oil recipe that cures everything from the common cold to cancer. You need to identify the pest and use the proper control. Doesn't a nearby university offer agricultural extension service to gardeners? It would be best to take your pest to them for ID.

I'm sure that Butt0n as with all other members of the forum who would like to rid pests naturally appreciate the advice that the older members give. I am not down playing your advice in any way, but I am not going to run any one of my over 50+ plants for an identification of a bug. I want it dead regardless.

There are some members who will only use natural remedies for pests, others who will just use chemicals and those who use both with chemicals being the last resort. Regardless of what is used, here on the forum we members have listed what we know that does and does not work.
