Default eucalyptus oil to control garden pests aphids....

I know nothing of it. But I'll point out that I've seen large bottles of
eucalyptus oil in the laundry area of supermarkets, where it is sold for
killing dust mites in the wash.

Try your spray on just one branch first off. Late afternoon might be a
good time, since it's oil based.


That's what I'm using. Its actually intended for laundry use.

I used a cap full in a 1 litre spray the other day with some detergent soap
mixed inside.

I had a cut on my hand that day- and didn't want to use the normal pesticide
mix I usually use.

Let you know the results in a month's time of use.
