    Tobacco leaf water can kill insects because tobacco contains nicotine, which has a strong contact killing effect on aphids, red spiders, ants, etc., and also has fumigation and stomach toxicity. There are many ways to kill insects with tobacco leaf water, such as soaking water with tobacco shreds, soaking water with cigarette butts, etc.

    Take 20 grams of tobacco powder or shredded tobacco, add 500 grams of water and soak for 24 hours, then filter, and spray the filtrate directly around the potting soil and the bottom of the pot, which can kill pests in the soil.

    Soapy water can also kill insects, and when the fatty acids in the soap are dissolved in water, they will become a natural wax coating, and spraying them on the insect will form a film on its surface, causing it to dehydrate and suffocate to death.

    This method can be used against a variety of soft shellfish (aphids, mealybugs, whiteflies, etc.) pests, especially for spider mites, and has little effect on the flowers and plants themselves.
