never tried it but found this nifty recipie online


This mixture is great for combating many different types of bugs, but especially caterpillars, aphids, and many types of those nasty worms.

What you need:


1 cup of tobacco

1 gallon of water


Put the tobacco into the container of water. Allow the mixture to set for approximately 24 hours. After it has stood for a day, check the color. It should be the shade of weak tea. If it is too dark, just dilute it with water until it looks right.


*Warning: Don't use this solution on peppers, tomatoes, eggplants, or any other member of the solanaceous family. Tobacco chemicals can kill these types of plants!
