Does anyone have the instructions for making the stuff. Right now I
have couple of cups of Jalapeno tops, seeds and some membranes and it
just occurred to me that they could be turned into an insecticide.
Also, how do you use it and on what?

I don't know if capsaisum (spelling?) is a good insecticide but I can tell
you how to extract it into water. Blend your seeds etc into a food
processor with just enough cheap vegetable oil to liquidise, blend until
smooth and liquid then leave over night. Dilute this with water including
enough detergent to emulsify the oil. If using a sprayer squeeze through a
cloth to remove larger solids. Wear gloves! I don't know what strength (if
any) acts as an insecticide so you may have to experiment. As others have
said it may be more use as an animal repellant.
