5. Squash vine borers

6. Japanese beetles

7. Tomato hornworms

8. Cutworms

If any of the bugs listed above have been attracted to your lovely garden, use this soap spray recipe to get rid of them.

1.5 teaspoons of a mild soap

4 cups of water

Add to a spray bottle, shake, and apply to your plants before the sun rises, or after it sets.

Another option is to purchase a neem oil spray or make your own neem oil spray.

4 cups water

Just add everything into a spray bottle and spray on your plants before the sun rises, or after it sets.
