_Posted by Gabe on 2025-08-19_

Just made myself a homemade leaf shine/ pest repellent. Unfortunately all I had was a dropper instead of a spray bottle ☹️.

It’s got hydrogen peroxide, water, peppermint essential oils, a bit of fungus gnat killer, and, some soap.

How cool! I usually get my spray bottles from Walmart or similar stores for a dollar \<3 I recommend getting cheap ones you aren’t attached to OR ones you can put in the dishwasher if you can find them. It’s hard to clean inside them. I had one grow mold from using neem oil water in it and it melted in the dishwasher lol

Ivory soap liquefied works great for pest, plus they still use the same recipe since the beginning of the company
