When my basil plants, trumpet vine, and green beans were being eaten alive by unseen bugs, she had to find an effective way to get rid of the pests.

I couldn't use chemicals because some of these plants were herbs she used in cooking. But the organic remedies I tried simply didn't work.

Combining several natural pest remedies I'd read about, I created a Garlic-Mint Garden Insect Spray. It has just four ingredients: garlic, mint leaves, cayenne pepper, and a small amount of biodegradable dishwashing liquid.

I sprayed it all over the plants and the first thing she noticed was it smelled good. Within two weeks the plants had noticeably improved. After a month they were back to full health.

The bugs, whatever they were, had been driven away by the spray. (I never found any dead bodies.)
