Organic bug killers?

[charles]

I'm bog-eyed thru looking for either pyrethrum or soap insecticide on t'internet.
One site will sell me £16 worth of soapy stuff. What?

Does anyone know of a site that sells a normal £4 or £5 worth of the stuff?
Pathetic Brit suppliers - the US sites are better.

Please don't tell me how to make my own - unless you tell me what brand of washing up liquid and PROMISE you have used it and it works, etc.

Best wishes to all.

Have you tried other things.

Neem oil , 1 spoon in a litre of water, works on most pests, natural insecticide,

or

Limonene ( distilled orange oil ) a spoon in a gallon of water

Neem and limonene can be bought on ebay, with the neem i put the tinyest drop of fairy washing up liquid to make it mix with water easier

Both of the above kill most pests, neem makes them sit there and not eat anything as it is an actual pesticide as well as an oil, as well as coating them in oil suffocating them and making the leaves slippy so they cant feed or lay eggs ,

Limonene is a powerfull natural insecticide that kills most pests on contact, even white fly

thanks

Thanks, Starloc.

A way forward.

Good luck with your gardening.

Enviromesh is best pest control, I use it all time to protect my veg from all insects, strong winds, mild frost. Its perfect and doesnt kill good insects you need. I dont believe in spraying anything on my food, Wot few insects find there way in are easily dealt with by hand

Scotts do a product called BugClear for Fruit & Veg - comes in a handy ready to use container or liquid concentrate
