Use all year round to control
scales, aphids, mealy bugs, mites and citrus leaf miner on fruit trees, roses and ornamentals.
Take an empty jar or plastic bottle, pour in a cup of ordinary cooking oil and ¼ cup of dishwashing liquid.
Give it a good shake - you'll see it turn white.
That’s your white oil concentrate.
Label the container with the correct dilution rate – ‘one tablespoon per litre of water’.
It's important to stick with this rate because too much oil will cause leaf burn
avoid using it in very hot weather (over 25°C) because it can also burn foliage.
Mix it well before and during spraying.
