Today we will look into a very Powerful Cocktail Pesticide Recipe for the best organic pesticide which can be used as an all purpose or the universal pesticide for both treatment and prevention of pests like aphids, mealybugs, whiteflies, caterpillars and a lot of other pests and bugs in your garden.

Introduction
By Using Chemical Pesticides in Our Garden, We intentionally release harmful, toxic, and cancer-producing substances into our environment. Thankfully, there are a number of easily available natural substances that act as organic pesticides and are completely safe to use on our plants.
Homemade Natural Pesticides
These homemade natural pesticides can kill a variety of pests and bugs in our garden, either singly or in combinations. A combination of multiple substances can provide a broad-spectrum solution for pests like aphids, whiteflies, mealybugs, spider mites, beetles, fleas, flies, mosquitoes, larvae, caterpillars, slugs, and snails, among others.
Today, we will look into the formula or recipe for making this all-purpose cocktail pesticide, which is completely organic and safe to use.
Rules for Applying Natural Pesticides
- Patch Test: Always do a patch test on a leaf or branch before applying it all over your garden. If the leaf gets burnt or wilts, you may need to reduce the concentration. Learning this adjustment will help you achieve a pest-free garden.
- Coverage: Ensure you spray on the undersides of the leaves, as well as on flower buds and new growing shoots.
- Timing: Do not apply during sunny hours. The best time is in the evening and after sunset.
Formula or Recipe for All-Purpose Organic Pesticide
To make 1 litre of this solution, add the following to 1 litre of warm water:
- 10 Drops Clove Oil: If you don’t have clove oil, make a clove solution by crushing 1 tablespoon of cloves and adding them to a cup of warm water. Let it steep for 1 to 2 hours, then use a cup of this solution. If using pure clove oil, 10 drops will suffice. The clove oil used here is approved by the ministry for organic vegetable gardening. You can find purchase links on my website www.gkvk.in and in the video description.
- 10 Drops Pure Neem Oil: Obtain this from a trusted source. The purchase link can also be found in the description.
- 5–10 Drops of Eucalyptus Oil: This helps to drive away bees and wasps. Use it if you do not mind repelling these pollinators or if you need to protect children from potential allergic reactions to stings.
- 10 Drops Liquid Soap: Use dishwash soap liquid for its coating or surfactant effect.
This formula can be remembered as the “Rule of 10″—10 drops of each of the 4 ingredients. Mix well, load into your spray bottle, and apply to your plants after performing a patch test and following the rules mentioned earlier.
I have used this same recipe and successfully cleared almost all pests from my plants. Initially, use it weekly for 3 weeks to eradicate pests. For maintenance, use it in a more diluted form at least once every fortnight or once a month.
