For thrips/mites
Noted organic proponent J. Howard Garrett recommends use of a homemade botanical spray formulated from garlic and pepper. (17) Garrett's garlic/pepper tea is made by liquefying two bulbs of garlic and two cayenne or haba๑ero peppers in a blender 1/3 full of water. Solids are strained out, and enough water is added to make one gallon of concentrate. Garrett mixes ผ cup concentrate with two tablespoons of vegetable oil and enough water to make 1 gallon of ready-to-use spray mix. (18) A commercial product called Hot Pepper Waxฎ, containing capsaicin (the active ingredient of cayenne pepper), is also recommended for thrips control. (19) A highly refined horticultural oil can be used during the growing season for control of thrips and several other insects. (20)
Hope this helps someone out there!
