A Natural Pesticide

The women lost most of their last crop from their Square Foot Gardens in this last season from the caterpillars and crickets. We tried several different natural pesticides like tobacco and garlic, with no success. Just recently, we discovered that the chiltepes (tiny wild hot peppers) can be boiled for 10 minutes and let to stand for 3 days to produce a very smelly but very effective natural pesticide.
