Default pure soap

Ron, all you need to do is collect any remnants of old toilet soap tablets
from the bathroom, put them in a large pot or jam jar, add hot water, stir
and wait until the soap has turned gloopy. Dilute with more hot water and
use the resulting liquid as a spray. Dove soap would be fine as would any
other toilet soap. This soap spray works a treat with zapping whitefly.
They don't like it on them!

Hi I have been reading about making insectisides using pure soap. What is
pure soap sold as, i.e. trade name? Or will Dove soap do?
