DIY Natural Pest Control with Cayenne Pepper

DIY Natural Pest Control with Cayenne Pepper

What You’ll Need:

2 tablespoons cayenne pepper (or chili powder)

1 liter of water

1 teaspoon dish soap (optional, helps it stick to plants)

Spray bottle

Instructions:

1. In a container, mix the cayenne pepper with water.

2. Add dish soap (if using) and stir well.

3. Pour the mixture into a spray bottle.

4. Spray directly on affected plants, focusing on areas with aphids or slug activity.

Why It Works:

Aphids & Small Insects: The capsaicin in cayenne pepper naturally repels them.

Slugs & Snails: The strong scent and spicy taste discourage them from munching on your plants.

Tip: Reapply after rain or heavy watering for continued protection!
