Lance,
A friend of mine gave me this recipe - she got it from the Dallas Morning News. Haven't tried it yet--have to use up the $9.00 bottle I bought at the garden center first!
This seems fairly simple to make. It's for, "common pests" such as whiteflies, aphids, June bugs, squash bugs, loopers ??, spider mites.
1 head of garlic
2 cups water
1 tsp cayenne pepper
2 tsp mineral oil
Cut head of garlic into 8 pieces discarding the root end. Place in blender with water cayenne pepper and mineral oil. Blend till smooth and liquid
Let stand 2 hours then blend again. Strain into 1 gallo container Fill container with water and refrigerate.
To use, pour one-quarter cup into a 1-quart spray jar amd fll to the top with water.

I'd almost be tempted to sauté it all some before straining, to extract as much of the essences as possible. But I'm just theorizing.
