Putting alcohol to good use

[fuzz1]

Mealy bugs have become harder to get rid of over the years. Whatever insecticides that used to work are either banned or no longer works.

Brushing them with a paint brush soaked in alcohol will be get rid of them. And safe for both you and your plants unless you drink it

i used to do a bit of gardening myself when i got bugs i used neem oil mixture and spray the area, totally legal and easy to get, i never had problems with bugs, i have a tiny bottle of vodka for cleaning pcb's after soldering work

Ahh why used to do gardening?

Yes i forgot the Neem oil. After the alcohol treatment i add that too.

I add Neem oil when i find leaves get eaten too

Yeah another good use I found out

If your Marker pen dries up permanent or white board marker dip it in Iso propyl alcohol. (Yes not the one to be drunk)

Worked fine for me.

Not recommended to clean arteries and veins

Hey, try planting certain types of plants together can help deter pests. For example, marigolds can help repel nematodes, and planting garlic or onions can help keep aphids away.

Great. I'm growing mint, which repels mosquitoes really well.
