NOTES
– This is like a pepper spray, so you should protect your skin and eyes like you would when using any hot peppers, although the potency is less because it only uses dried cayenne.
– Wait a few days to harvest after using so there isn’t any spicy residuals (I only used 2 applications the whole summer, so there never was any taste to the produce).
– This spray works by mainly repelling bugs, though if they rub against it, it can kill them.
– The scent keeps bugs away, but I still had ladybugs and bees, maybe because I only used the spray a few times.

Neem oil is a great choice to use!!
Hi Cindy,
Neem oil works well after the fact of invading pests. So, next year when you this problem budding again, what I would do and have done for many years is go to Google and look up Companion Plants, it tells you what to plant with your garden selections to naturally repel pests. This really works,
I'll give you and example: we grow tomatoes and to repel natural pests we use Marigolds. Best to you. Look 'em up!
