RE: Dawn dish soap and water - HikerShawn - 05-09-2022
I was told by someone that mixing dawn dish soap and water is a good solution to kill weeds.
Is there any truth to it or is it false?

It is true, most of the mealy bugs and insects can be killed also brought it to be in under control. I have did this myself to control caterpillars in the past and it worked with Dish soap or surf.
Just give a try and see your works as it nothing will be lost in experimenting.

We use Castile soap. It pretty much is the soapy concoction that works regardless of the brand. It helps to suffocate bugs. I haven't used it on weeds. I either just let them go or pull them by hand. I have tried the apple cider vinegar method but I prefer to just keep up on weeding.

If you heard. then it is real since soap water is used to kill most of the insects here. We have one that is Dettol, but I used another soap water which worked for white insects in killing and stop their growth.
