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?

Thanks Ron


I find washing up liquid works for greenfly.

Any suggestions for what ratio wul to water?

I'd be inclined to use too much I think so guidelines would help!

One squirt in a bowl of water. Try that and increase the concentration if it
does not work.
You may need to increase the amount if you are using scuffer/pleb brand
stuff (17p/bottle). :-)
