Garden Spray Recipe


Bosisto’s Garden Spray has become very popular with home gardeners because it is natural and non-residual.


Mix your own spray using this easy-to-make formula:





Bosisto's Eucalyptus Oil 5mL (1 teaspoon)


Canola Oil 20mL (4 teaspoons)


Dishwashing Detergent 2mL (1 - 2 squirts)


Water 1 litre (5 - 6 cups)





Spray around seedlings and at the base of plants.


Repeat as necessary. Ideal for earwigs, slugs, snails and slaters. Do not store made up spray. Thoroughly wash sprayer after use.





Insect Repellent


Bosisto's Eucalyptus Spray is an excellent mosquito repellent. To prolong protection, rub on a mixture of Bosisto’s Oil and vegetable or baby oil. The oil can also be used alone or mixed with kerosene in flares, lanterns or lamps to deter mosquitos.

just funning ya, I guess you could use an insecticide, don't think I've ever seen an earwig. Look it up on the internet. See what they might have for getting rid of these ear wigs.
Reply:Try pouring bran flakes around the base of the seedlings, this should stop the problem.
