Can anyone recommend a natural insecticide for house plants?

I've been told that red pepper powder diluted in water will work.

Can anyone recommend a natural insecticide for house plants?
Tea tree oil and water in a spray bottle works for me!
Reply:safer's soap
Reply:for most, but it will float on the water, not mix with it. Just plain soap will cause insects to not eat your plants.
Reply:I know this is going to sound weird but soap and water work great! My yard man gave me this tip, dont worry it will not harm them, water and dishwashing soap mixed together! good luck!
Reply:There is this book that gives you natural recipes of insecticides and fertilizers. http://www.squidoo.com/Natural-Insectici...


It was advertised on TV few times ago.
Reply:mix water and dish soap and spray leaves ...aphids and other small plant destroying pests will no longer bother plants...also try re-potting in fresh potting soil..be sure to rinse roots with room temperature water, that way you will not shock the plant!
