For years gardeners have experimented with pepper formulas to keep insects out yet keep produce safe. That formula has been found with Hot Pepper Wax Insect Repellent™! It is an environmentally-friendly, and organic way of getting rid of unwanted, soft-bodied insects that try taking over your garden plants, fruit, and flowers.
Hot Pepper Wax is a combination of Capsaicin, an extract from cayenne peppers that give them their spicy taste, and a food-grade paraffin wax. This combination gives plants a thin wax barrier and the Capsaicin irritates the insect’s bodies. Each application will be effective for up to 2 weeks!
Hot Pepper Wax works on aphids, spider mites, thrips, whiteflies, lace bugs, leafhoppers, and more! It will not seriously harm humans. If rubbed in eyes or open wounds it will sting, however warm water will easily wash all trace of it away.
