How do I make a homemade insecticidal soap

Sure thing! Here are five different ways you can make homemade insecticidal soap:

**Basic Recipe**: Mix about 2 tablespoons of liquid dish soap (make sure it's biodegradable) with a quart of water. Shake it up in a spray bottle and you're good to go! Just spray it on the plants where you see those pesky bugs.

**Olive Oil Twist**: Combine 2 tablespoons of liquid soap with 1 tablespoon of olive oil and a quart of water. The olive oil helps the soap stick to the bugs better. Just mix it all up and spray away!

**Essential Oil Boost**: Add a few drops of essential oils like peppermint or tea tree oil to the basic soap recipe. Not only will it help with pests, but it’ll also make your garden smell nice!

**Baking Soda Addition**: Mix 1 tablespoon of liquid soap, 1 tablespoon of baking soda, and a quart of water. This combo can help with fungal issues too, so it’s a two-in-one solution!
