Is it true that spraying Listerine is just as effective as bug spray?
No. Listerine can be an ingredient in semi-organic garden sprays, but it won’t be as effective as most pesticides. A popular garden spray consists of boiled garlic or peppers, tea leaves, dish soap, and Listerine. The peppers or garlic help mask the scents that bugs use to identify tasty plants and drive away other pests with sensitive noses. The soap helps it stick to the plants leaves. Tea has several benefits and is thought to drive away some moths and worms. The Listerine can help prevent some fungus, molds, and bacterial infections.
