DISCLAIMER: pls use wise judgement when using this mixture, make sure to test-spray it on one or a few plants first, not on all affected plants.
You can tweak the ingredients to make it less or potent.
Also do the spraying when it's not too hot outside..preferably evening time.
Some vloggers wash off the solution after spraying, I don't because I want the solution to stay on the leaves. But my mixture is not too strong either and I don't spray everything, only the affected part of the plants.

4 cups water
1 Tablespoon baking soda
1 Teaspoon dish soap
1 Tablespoon olive oil
Mix well, put in spray bottle
Spray plant leaves or affected areas.

Anybody asking about what type of oil, use any type, the oil is only there to hold the ingredients onto the plant. It also makes it difficult for aphids to breathe. I don’t know if this mixture works but about to try it. Detergent is a poison and the oil will hold it on, maybe drowns the bugs, a deterrent to grasshoppers. Don’t know about the bicarbonate, maybe to give the bugs bright clean teeth ? Remember anyone trying this, as soon as you water or it rains, you will have to reapply. If you can water the soil without spraying the foliage, one application is enough. Hope this helps your planning

This stuff works amazingly. I have made 2 batches of it already and getting ready to make a 3rd.

This is a miracle worker! Thank you so much. How did you get this recipe?
To everyone else...DON'T BE AFRAID TO TRY THIS. I was about to throw my hibiscus 🌺 away and tried this solution- And it worked. I sprayed the flower all around (including under the leaf and soil) left the flower outside for 15 min. All little insects (unalived)just Have to change the soil in case they laid eggs-and water spray the flower just in case the soap doesn't damage the leaves. Many thanks 😊

This looks like a good mixture, I’ll try it out as I’ve already got lots of little black aphids all over my new young fruit trees 😳 Thank you! ☺️

😊😊😊 I use garlic and chilli tea with a dash of detergent. ❤❤❤

[ExoticLove]

Could I use avocado oil. I don t have olive oil ? My plants and flowers are destroyed by the insects lots of holes in the leaves.

i made this without baking soda 😊 I can confirm that it works, also made some for my aunt who had an infestation of some type of larger sized fruit flies. During the evening the were all over her wooden patio cover. she was so happy becauseshe was about to hire an exterminator

[rubymauricio]

Do i need to wash off the leaves i sprayed afterwards, or just leave it there?

[ryangill]

What is the baking soda doing in the mix? I understand the soap kills and the oil lets it stick to bugs eggs and plants so it lingers a little longer. Is baking soda for slugs and other bugs?

[edg-eddylikescake]

I wanna hear some rock music while I mix to eliminate ants, just sounds more fitting

[gigidotto]

Doesn't need that much Soap, even half a teaspoon works perfectly 😂

[MASHkicksass]

Hi! Thank you for the tip excited to try it!

[mamamua]

I have about 200 different plants I am caring for outside and I am a new gardener 😅 I just saw my Buddleja davidii has aphids. If I spray this on the aphids- will they just go on to my other plants or does this kill them? Should I spray all my other plants as a preventative measure? Thanks in Advance!!

Just sprayed this mixture(less potent) all over my garden(tomatoes, peppers, strawberries). Will update in a month

[BlueMoonFuzz]

I’m at war right now with these aphids. They’re suckn my roses dry, I saw them on my Venus fly traps and it was over. Ima give this a try. I heard neem oil helps out too for mixing it in to concoctions like this. If I could use a flame thrower I would.

[laurabarber]

I just made it. Something is attacking my dahlias. While applying, I saw an atricious looking brown spider, daddy long legs and earwigs. Sure hope I can save the dahlias because they were beautiful when I planted them.

Will this work on clover mites? They are eating all my campanula flowers. I try washing them off with the hose but every time I look their all over each flower
