What is the content of ginger in an organic insecticide?

Answer 1

Just as with citronella, the oil from ginger can be an ingredient in an organic insecticide. But it would be less expensive, and more effective, to use the more widely available horticultural and neem oils.

Answer 2

[1] It's the oil from the ginger plant that can be an ingredient in organic insecticides. [2] But it's far cheaper, easier, and effective to use horticultural or neem oils, or insecticidal soap. [3] And particularly insecticidal soap can be either store-bought, or homemade. The homemade version's simply a dishwater soap spray. The ratio is 1:1. The measure's typically tablespoon to cup or quart, depending upon the desired strength and speed of results.

Answer 3

The ginger content depends upon the type of organic insecticide in question. For example, organic insecticides may limit the content to ginger diluted in water, at the proportion of one tablespoon per gallon of water. Or they may mix similar quantities of ginger with diluted garlic or with vinegar.
