- 5 unpeeled sliced garlic cloves
- 2 cups of boiling water
Put the boiling water over the garlic and leave it overnight. Then strain trough cheesecloth and put the liquid on an spray bottle. This will last around a week after that trow away the unused liquid.
I hope this helps. I had success with roses and impatiens.

I like to make a strong generic pesticide in an open 5 gallon bucket of garlic, onions, hot pepper powder, ground cloves, orange and lemon peelings, and a little canola oil and liquid soap. After soaking for several days, I dilute it to a 1:10 ratio or more dilution if needed, and apply only on affected areas where I see pest problems. If abused, this stuff can also kill or harm beneficial insects.

Me, I take 4 large Garlics and peel the skin off all the cloves therein. I take those cloves and 4 habenero peppers, blend them in some distilled water, maybe a pint worth. Blend it as fine as possible.
Then I pour it through a strainer into a gallon container. Pour more distilled water through the strainer and the soilds it strained out until your gallon container is full. Now you have 1 gallon of strong Garlic/Pepper tea concentrate.
I dilute it at about 1/2 to 1 cup of concentrate to 1 gallon of water.
