!!! THE ANSWER!!!.
Hi.
Please spray in the morning.
On average 1tbs or less of regular dish soap, will take care of every normal plant pest and disease problem. Ok but I still have Cucumber beetle=looks like green ladybugs, and earwigs? 4tbs of dish soap will run them off. Then in the winter put down beneficial nematodes,{Steinernema feltiae}that attack more than 230 kinds of soil dwelling and wood boring pests. @ www.organiccontrol.com Or they can be bought at any major nursery for $20ish and last until something{Pesticide poisons}kills them or several years. Thease will kill the over wintering larva, even husk fly on walnut trees! Etc. Beneficial nematodes work good in vegetable gardens and lawns to kill the grubs. Now we wont need to trap the raccoons! Fungicides will not kill nemes but pesticides will.
Snails and Slugs do not like soapy water at all,so they run away to.
Wow! That worked good but now everything wants to eat my stuff, Deer, locust, etc. Yep...Urine. Store bought, etc 1-4tbs per gal of water should work just fine when used as a leaf spray. It works very well for the Deer.I have not tried this but "Steve Tvedten" says liqued Dial dish soap will work as well? Water will wash this off. Cornstarch Baby powder will drive away and keep out ants. Spray in the AM.
If you have bugs like white fly, aphids etc on plants that are used Medicinally etc, get some wasps at the same place you get the beneficial nematodes, as only one of the many possible controls.A small vaccum can minamize some of the adult flys. www.organiccontrol.com or www.getipm.com
One other thing, chlorine kills the stuff dirt needs to be dirt. Get a garden hose end filter if you still have problems. I got a whole house filter at Home depot for $30 and $10 for the filters.This is just one place of many to try.

Today we must be concerned not to allow any more "protective cures" come back to haunt us. Just a few of the problems with volatile, pesticide poisons are as follows:
1.
"Volatile, pesticide poisons do not stay where they are sprayed...they volatilize (are gaseous) so they can drift all over and contaminate all surfaces, people and pets.
2.
Pesticide poisons do not discriminate what they kill. Any form of life is at risk.
3.
Pests can quickly become immune or resistant to dangerous synthetic pesticide poisons. People do not seem to be capable of doing this.
4.
Pesticide poisons are often stored in our fatty tissues, where they can become carcinogenic, or emerge later to harm us again.
5.
Virtually all pesticide poisons are neurotoxins and this includes many of the misnamed "inert" substances such as xylene and toulene which are toxic solvents for many pesticides.
6.
Many pesticide poisons contain contaminates or are changed into even more deadly poisons (metabolites) as they age or enter our bodies.
7.
Most contain unregistered and untested "inerts" that often are more dangerous or contaminate longer than the active or major or "registered" poison ingredients in a pesticide formula.
8.
The Tulane-Xavier Center for Bio-environmental Research in New Orleans said that combining two substances common to registered pesticide poisons can produce a synergistic impact on hormones 1,000 times stronger than either poison alone - but no one routinely tests for these synergistic effects.
9.
The average home today contains more chemicals than were found in a typical chemistry lab at the turn of the century!
One day (hopefully in the near future) people will be astonished we actually paid someone to contaminate our homes, schools and work areas with volatile, synthetic pesticide poisons, just as we now wonder about the mental stability of people who actually paid someone to put dangerous asbestos in older buildings.
Black's Law Dictionary defines "intoxication" as a situation where, by reason of taking intoxicants, an individual does not have the normal use of his physical or mental faculties, thus rendering him incapable of acting in the manner in which an ordinary, prudent and cautious man, in full possession of his faculties, using reasonable care, would act under like conditions. Becoming intoxicated by chemical poisons can produce a behavior that is not very different from that of a person who is intoxicated with alcohol.
About 6,000 new synthetic chemicals are added to our environment in just the U. S. every year! Middle-aged human bodies now contain on average 177 organochlorine chemicals. Steinman, D. and Wisner, R., Living Healthy in a Toxic World. Today we have 500 to 1000 chemicals residing in us that were not there in 1920; we have become full of toxins - intoxicated - only apparently we can't sober up! To add even more toxic, volatile poisons to this cesspool we carry is truly absurd! Especially if these volatile poisons do not even control the target pests!"
"Obviously, we no longer have the normal use of our faculties. It is time to get clean and sober and use some Pestisafes® and common sense!"
