If the nicotine in one cigarette could get into your body, you would be dead. Nicotine and Soap Wash. This is for Aphids, Apple Sucker, Cuckoo Spit, Leaf Miners, and all forms of young Caterpillars. Nicotine (96 per cent purity). 1 ? - 2 ? oz. Soft Soap... 4 oz. Soft Water. 20 Gals. Pour the Nicotine into the dissolved soap in the water, and apply as a fine spray, BUT avoid using it on any plants the leaves of which are likely to be cooked or eaten in less than four or five weeks. The same remark applies to fruit. Good caution. :-) As far as I know, mom only ever used it on Roses... -- Peace!
