1. Thanks for posting this

I can't hear what he's saying very well so I'll listen again at home.

2. Thanks.

Interesting video.
We already use some oils in our garden.
Starkraven brews up an evil concoction with dried Habenero peppers, garlic, and dish soap.
It works well, but sometimes clogs the sprayer. It will take your breath away if you are standing downwind, and you don't want to get any in your eyes.

We also use Neem Oil, but I'm beginning to wonder if any essential oil would do the same job.

We discontinued the Neem several weeks ago because it is just too damn hot.
