Does anyone have a home remedy to keep bugs from eating my plants?

Soap will dissolve the outer carapace from many bugs: You don't need to blast them, though that can be fun, but try 1 teaspoon natural dish soap or liquid castile soap, such as Dr. Bronner's, into a one-quart spray bottle and top it off with water. Spray on insect-infested areas, remembering the undersides of leaves and stems. Repeat whenever needed. Sometimes just using a good watering will drown them, but if they're doing the backstroke, go for the soap!

you can try a mix of ground cayenne pepper, garlic powder and dish soap (Dawn blue) in water. Spray it on and it should deter bugs

Hi Lois, Here's a link to some good remedies: http://thekrazycouponlady.com/tips/at-home/edit-keep-pests-out-of-your-garden-using-common-household-items

Good luck!

I agree with the soap & water solution. We use cinnamon to keep them away.

Use horticultural oil

thank you all for the suggestions
