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?



Thanks to everyone who replied. I will be mixing some up in the next
few days and trying it next year. If it keeps the critters away that
will be a big help. I watched a turtle eat my only cantaloupe this
year. And I see rabbits hopping around there frequently.

Maybe I will plant a couple of cayenne next year to use for repellant.
