Hello, Kenzie. I’ve never personally tried this for an insecticide. Depending on the issue, I’d recommend “Jack’s Deadbug Brew” which covers most houseplant pests. What insects are you trying to get rid of?

It’s often best to use a very mild soap with as few additives as possible. There are particular horticultural soaps that are meant to be used on plants if you don’t want to risk harming them with the treatment 🙂

I use insecticidal soap. You can get it from Lowe's and Home Depot. Even Amazon. There are a few good brands. No more than $10. It's easy and safe to use
