Keep Your Garden Pest Free with These Natural Pesticides, Made with Ingredients Already in Your Pantry. Some things you may have readily available... * Aluminum foil - lay it under your plants to control aphids. They like to hang out under the leaves, so by causing a reflection of light from below, they get confused and tend to go somewhere else. * Use items directly from the garden. I usually have some very hot peppers growing and almost nothing touches them. Pluck some peppers and mix in a blender or foot processor with water then add a few drops of soap. Strain and spray on the rest of the garden. * The offending pests - I have heard that if you capture the offending pest and crush them up and add them to your spray that it will deter the same pest. What you probably won't have on hand... * Diatomaceous earth - completely organic and will kill any pest with an exoskeleton... * Lady bugs - natural predators of aphids. Garden tunnels.
