I have tried the hot sauce remedy. I just wanted to let folks know that they should be careful to only use liquid soap that is NOT antibacterial. I always use Murphy's Oil Soap. The slight citrus fragrance helps repell some insects, too. The hot sauce works like a charm!

Great video. You mentioned vinegar as one of your ingredients for the homemade spray, but when I checked below your post, there wasn't vinegar in the recipe. Should vinegar be added to the recipe?
the neem oil spray burned my succulents..😕. is there a remedy to this ? i haven't watered or rinsed it bec it might absorb more liquid and accelerate rotting
