get about 8 or 10 jabanero peppers ( must be jabanero's) and chop them fine. place in a pan with about a quart of water and heat ( NOT BOIL) for about a half hour. chop up a few cloves of garlic and add to the mix. let it cool and strain into a jar. You can mix this into a gal of water to spray onto your plants. It'll burn the h*ll out of the little critters and keep them at bay. I do this about once every three weeks.Caution: wear a bandana or mask when spraying as it is a hot mix and will burn your eyes and skin. won't hurt the plants at all.And can be used any time.
