Default Re: What is insecticidal soap?

Last year my neighbor had a row of ficus that were infested with whitefly which took the liberty of spreading to my banana, canistel and papaya trees. I sprayed with neem, horticultural oil and sevin. Not before my neighbors ficus were dead and in the landfill was I able to control them.

Nowadays Kat's generic recipe for insecticidal (using Dr. Bronner's peppermint) soap and hort oil keep the insects at bay.
