Some things really are best left to the professionals. This is one of them. Anyone who can't figure out how to make a pesticide on their own is more likely to kill themselves trying than to make a safe and effective pesticide. That said: one reason tobacco plants contain nicotine is that it's toxic to certain kinds of pests; you could try soaking cigarettes or chewing tobacco in water and lightly spraying it on your plants. I personally wouldn't do it on any plants I intended to eat, but it should be fine on ornamentals (assuming you don't have pets or small children).
