With the right planning it is possible to use a variety of homemade solutions to protect the entire garden.

Here are several natural solutions for eliminating the insects - Water A simple, yet highly effective option is to use a 100% water-based spray.
Water is highly effective at eliminating insects like aphids or whiteflies.
A spray bottle with fine hose nozzle is desired to produce the necessary force to help blast the bugs from the leaves.
Make sure to spray both sides of the leaves.
Add Soap and Water If the desired results aren't achieved with water alone it might be necessary to be more aggressive with the insects.
A lot of soaps contain a natural fatty acid which is highly effective at dissolving the outer shell of the small garden pests.
A spray mixture of this type will eventually kill the bugs.
A soap spray is highly effective at dealing with thrips, mites, scale, and aphids.
A simple solution to make and consists of filling a one-quart spray bottle with water and 1 tbsp of liquid castile soap or natural dish soap.
Repeat the spray process until the insects are eliminated.
Include hot pepper and garlic A highly effective option for eliminating the more resilient insects is to include the extra strength of either hot pepper or garlic.
Spraying a mixture which includes either of these ingredients is certain to make the plant life taste that much less appetizing to the insects.
This is a further simple to create mixture at home, which requires crushing the pepper and garlic with the previous combination of water, soap, and one-quart spray bottle.
A spray mixture like this can stay usable for up to seven to 10 days if stored in the refrigerator.
A further option is to introduce some of the beneficial insects like ladybugs, damsel bug, green lacewing, syrphid fly, ichneumon wasp, and minute eyed-bug to help with keeping the more destruction pests in check.
