Why does you subject heading say one thing but your text say something
completely different?

Unless you are a professional chemist yourself, you should leave the
formulating insecticides to the professionals and instead have your fat
little legs carry you to a store that sells insecticides for houseplants and
get the real thing.

Trying to be Mr. Wizard and concocting your own insecticide is not a good
idea and can be potentially dangerous. Don't take any of the hare-brained
advice from that snake oil salesman Jerry Baker.

Ideally, you should use a systemic and thoroughly saturate the soil and
plants at least a week before moving them indoors.

Can anyone tell me how to make an insectide to pour into the pots of
houseplants that have spent the summer outside, before bringing them
into the house for the winter?

Can the same material be used to spray the tops?

Thanks. vince norris
