Fellow CP'ers !

Some other natural insecticides I ran across:

1. A foliar spray of Water and Tabasco sauce with a little Safers soap
(Capsicum extract and all vegetable soap)
- Use at temps 80 degrees F or lower -

2. Powdered Garlic applied to the roots (systemic poison)
- Might work for Nepenthes probably will kill other CP's

-You can probably use extracts from Marigolds also.

Again you are on your own when trying these concoctions as I doubt they have
been tried very often on CP's.
