Can someone post a recipe for a (preferably organic) drench to pour
through the pots of houseplants that have been outside all summer, to
prevent bringing wildlife into the house?

Would it also be suitable for spraying on the leaves for the same
purpose?

Thanks. vince norris

I love the logic that, organic = good and chemicals = bad. It's people like
you that can be convinced that dihydrogen monoxide is too dangerous to be
allowed in our food.

There are plenty of things in nature that are incredibly toxic to humans and
the world. Hemlock, snake venom, nicotine, mercury, lead. to name a few.
What could possibly be on a potted plant and it's soil that would be so bad?
A few fungus gnats in the soil? aphids? mealy bugs?

It's not like you're going to accidentally transport a rodent or something
hiding in the pot. Visually inspect the pot, see what's on it, treat
accordingly.
