SECRET BAKING SODA HACK – The Most Powerful Organic Pesticide Formula

In Today’s short episode we will show you the secret baking soda hack / formula to prepare the most powerful and 100% organic pesticide by mixing baking soda and other stuff to treat almost every pest in your garden. I am sure, all of us have a container of baking soda in kitchen.

Let’s Go 100% Organic!

Prepare our most powerful pesticide and fungicide solution to treat almost all types of pests in your garden, like aphids, mealybugs, thrips, mites, whiteflies, worms, caterpillars, soil fungus, plant fungus like powdery mildew, black spot rose disease, leaf rust, leaf miners, and more. You can try this on almost any pest on your affected plant. Please stop using chemical pesticides and even chemical fertilizers and go 100% organic!

Ingredients for Our Potent Organic Pesticide Solution

Now let’s prepare our most potent pesticide solution. We just use two or three powerful ingredients in this pesticide recipe.

1. Baking Soda

The first ingredient is, of course, baking soda. Mind you, it’s baking soda and not baking powder. You should know the difference between baking soda and baking powder. Baking soda is pure sodium bicarbonate. It should not be confused with either baking powder or washing soda. Washing soda is sodium carbonate, and baking powder contains only 30% baking soda along with other ingredients. Some think baking soda is a chemical. No, it comes from the earth and is 100% organic.

In fact, baking soda is registered by the Environmental Protection Agency as a bio-pesticide in the United States. So it’s 100% organic and natural.

In one of my previous episodes last year, we discussed the miracles of baking soda in your garden, such as using it as a stand-alone pesticide and fungicide, cleaning garden tools and pots, for flowers, and more. You can check that video from a link in the description below.

2. Neem Oil

Now, let’s move on to the second component you need, which is neem oil. Do not worry if you do not have neem oil; you can use any vegetable oil like sunflower oil. However, this recipe is most potent if used with neem oil. You can also use other oils like clove oil or even eucalyptus oil, but be careful not to make it too strong to kill our beneficial insects and pollinators, like honey bees and butterflies.

How to Prepare the Pesticide Formula

Now let’s jump into the making:

Step 1

Take 1 liter of water in a container, spray bottle, or spray can. This formula is for 1 liter; if you need larger volumes, you can alter the formula as per your need.

Step 2

Add 2 teaspoons of baking soda to the water. If you feel the pest and fungus attack is too extensive, you can add 3 teaspoons.

Step 3

Add 1 teaspoon of neem oil to this. If you do not have neem oil, you can add vegetable oil or any other oil as already discussed. But neem oil is the best!

Step 4

To mix oil and water thoroughly, you can add about 10 drops of eco-friendly liquid soap into this. There are many organic liquid dishwash or hand wash soaps available in the market.

Step 5

This is very important. Make sure you mix and stir it thoroughly and then load it into your spray bottle and give it a good shake before spraying.

Testing the Solution

Before you spray on your entire plant, please perform a patch test on a leaf and leave it for an hour or two to see the potency. If the leaf wilts, you will need to dilute it further.
