Vinegar can be a useful tool in combating scale insects, especially on camellias. These pests have a waxy coating that makes them resistant to many chemical sprays. However, newly hatched larvae are more vulnerable. Applying a diluted vinegar solution with a cotton ball can help remove these pests from leaves and stems. Additionally, spraying a mixture of edible vinegar and water on flowers can help control black spot and powdery mildew in azaleas, while also offering some protection against certain molds and leaf spot diseases.

To tackle pests like aphids, whiteflies, and thrips, you can make a homemade pepper spray. Simply take one or two dried red peppers, add about two pounds of water, and boil them for 20 minutes. Once cooled, this solution can be used to water your plants. It helps repel several common garden pests. However, be cautious—too strong a solution may harm the plants, so it's best to use a milder concentration for safer results.

Peach leaves can also be used as a natural pest control. Boil 1 pound of peach leaves in 6 pounds of water for 30 minutes, then use the liquid to water your plants. This can help control aphids and other small pests. Dried and crushed peach leaves can be mixed into the soil to deter underground pests like cockroaches and grubs, making it a versatile natural remedy for both above and below-ground issues.

Garlic is another powerful natural pesticide. By soaking 1 kg of garlic in a little water, extracting the juice, and diluting it ten times with water, you can create an effective spray against aphids, spider mites, and scale insects. If poured directly into the pot, this garlic solution can also help prevent damage caused by nematodes and ticks, making it a valuable addition to your organic gardening toolkit.
