Pest Control H2O2

[Stone420]

I have a WW outside that looks fantastic. Now that the heat and humidity have settled in full force, the bugs are coming in full force too. To prevent a variety of insects, I have read that 3% hydrogen peroxide is beneficial to the plant's health and either ridding or discouraging pests such as mites, aphids and other pests like this.

Any tips? Should I apply full strength 3% ?

Hi! No experience with H2O2, sorry....I use Neem oil sprayed with light off once a week in the heavy season.

Are you happy with the results with the Neem oil, @bushdktr ?

I just read a quick article (RQS) about Neem Oil and they say very positive things about it. In the article they mentioned a user should add a few drops of soap detergent as a surfactant so they oil will emulsify into solution. I think anti-bacterial dish soap is a no-no to prevent the agents from killing off beneficial soil microbes, so I need to find the right soap if I use Neem Oil.

Yeah, really happy with Neem oil, I spray it dissolved in water (1-2 mL/L). That link posted by @LittleFunions is very helpful

Neem oil has worked for me in the past. Also, you could try a diluted solution of tea tree oil. It also works wonders on pests.
