Well, I know that pesticides is not related (directly) to human health, but I think this topic is worth to post on my blog, especially when I saw a tree in front of my room is dying because of somekind of insects. When I am in the process of searching of information about natural pesticides, I found this useful article. It’s an article from an organic store in Ubud, but since the English version is translated from Google Translation tool, you may want to see the original link here.
I am interested mostly of the garlic and chili spray. I have tested the chili spray on the tree two times before but I still don’t see a satisfying result. The leaves are still with holes although I also saw somekind of dried cocoons hanging down from that tree. So I hope the addition of garlic and soap will give stronger effect to the tree, but will not kill it.
