Pyrethrin is made from a flower, Chrysanthemum. This species is from Africa. Pyrethrin kills every insect known by man, and the bugs NEVER get immuned to it. You can use it in veg gardens up to day of harvest.

½ gallon 70% Isopropyl alcohol (make sure it is just isopropyl and water), mixed with equal amount of tap water, with a ¼-½ tsp castile soap and 1-2 tsp potassium bicarbonate. It kills everything I have dealt with. And the potassium bicarbonate will kill and help prevent powdery mildew.

It can be used it from seedling to flower and has no negative effects on the trichomes.

You can also tank mix this with spinosad and/ or BT for residual pest control

How do you get it through a sprayer? Maybe you meant duster?

Edit: ill correct myself, De is disolvable. New to me as ive always reapplied after rain. Didnt realize its effective again once it dries.
Must be a manufacturer trick to use more?

This x100. As cheap as it is potent. Anything that munches on your habanero spray coated leaves will die the second they eat. They now have to choose between dying from eating, or death by starvation.

Spinosad is great stuff too, but I don't use it as often as the pepper spray.

If you're outdoors, planting herbs such as cilantro, chives, rosemary, and dill will also help to deter pests as many of them hate the smell.

@poundofyourfinest definitely put it best. In fact, you only need to cut the peppers in half to expose the "flesh" prior to boiling.

I always point out to people; consider the precautions we humans have to take when processing habenero (or hotter) peppers. We need gloves and even goggles in some cases, and have to wash our hands even with gloves.

If for some strange reason just the smell/terpenes of the pepper spray itself doesn't deter pests, those little assholes munching on your capsasin infused leaves will die before they can even finish chewing.





A bit of a tangent with a personal experience of mine concerning capsasin, to demonstrate just how powerful it is to humans, let alone pests.

I went to a local sushi bar I've been a regular of for years. (side tip: if you like sushi, go sit at a bar and ask the chef to pick your food for you. Their eyes will light up and you'll have an amazing eating experience every time).

So, I go into the same sushi place for their all you can eat special. New guy was there. I'm munching on some sushi and eventually ask the guy,

"Can you make me and my lady the spiciest sushi roll you can come up with?"
"Well, I have a bottle of pure capsasin extract. No fillers, no peppers, no nothing. It is literally pure capsasin extract"
"Awesome, can you make me a spicy tuna handroll with that shit?"
"You sure?"
"Fuck yeah, I'll sign paperwork if you need"
"Nah man, I got you."

Sushi chef makes me a spicy tuna handroll, but with the pure capsasin extract instead of the typical Sriracha. I take a bite.

Suddenly, I'm floating. It is an out of body experience. I'm literally floating in the air, and eventually I'm "at the ceiling" of the restaurant and I'm looking down at myself eating this spicy capsasin roll of death. I've messed with LSD and mushrooms in my time, but never had an out of body experience like pure capsasin caused me to have.

For a good minute, I continued to eat the capsasin roll, and was simultaneously watching myself eat the roll as well as actually experiencing it via eating it. It was like I was watching myself AND experiencing it at the same time. The absolute most surreal experience of my life, I was conscious of being at two different places at once.



I always think of those asshole caterpillars/spider mites/aphids/etc. experiencing what I did. They munch on the leaves, expecting nourishment, only to have the same experience I did at the sushi bar. Until they fucking die of shock.

You can literally see the confusion in the bugs behavior after you spray this shit on the leaves. They go apeshit. They know their food source is right in front of them, but now its poison. You can literally watch the bugs decide between death by capsasin, or death by starvation. And if you've had to suffer watching a caterpillar eat your 7-10g top nug from your outdoor plant until it becomes a moldy useless piece of shit? You tend to become a sadist watching them suffer.


Apologies for the rant/personal anecdote, it just serves to prove a point.

If a habanero/ghost pepper/capsasin/etc. extract spray doesn't deal with your plant, you're most likely fucked and there is absolutely nothing you can do at that point.

All the best.
