- DAWN DISH SOAP: Ultimate Pest Control For BEDBUGS, ANTS, GNATS, FLEAS, BUGS, WASPS, MOLES, MOSQUITO
Dawn dishwashing soap has long been known for its use on more than just dishes.
Surprisingly, it can even be used to get rid of pests.
However, there are some things you should know before you use it on the dreaded pests.
It needs to be applied in a specific way, and some versions of Dawn are more effective than others.
So Here are the best ways to use dawn dish soap to get rid of certain pests.
1.
Gnats. Whether they're a result of moist houseplant soil or rotting food in your garbage can, gnats can be a nuisance.
But just because gnats are around, it doesn't mean they need to be tolerated forever.
Fill a glass or a bowl with 1 tablespoon of sugar, 2 tablespoons of apple cider vinegar, a half cup of warm water, and about 5 drops of liquid dish soap and stir well.
Gnats will be attracted to the sweet sugar and pungent vinegar, but the sticky dish soap will disable them from escaping.
This trick also works with wine!
If you have an unfinished bottle of red wine that has oxidized and turned sour, use the wine to replace the water, sugar, and vinegar.
Just add the liquid dawn dish soap, set it out in the open, and wait for the gnats to dive in.
2 .
Ants. Ants in the house are a big nuisance.
They enter your home when they smell or sense food.
Some ants may nest inside rotting floorboards or window frames of a house.
To get rid of ants make a mixture of dish soap or dishwashing liquid, and put it in a spray bottle and shake it well.
Then you can Spray it on the ants.
The solution will stick to the ants and the dish soap suffocates the ants to death.
This spray can also be used to kill ants that are thriving on your plants.
The solution will kill the ants without harming your plants.

With all due respect... No, when it comes to plants, that is simply not true. Please research this topic further. You should NOT use Dawn on plants, nor recommend that others do. Dawn, and others like Palmolive and sunlight, are actually detergents and NOT soaps! They also contain a lot of synthetic surfactants/foaming agents, which are great for grime and great, but they are not good for the environment. They take a long time to biodegrade. New studies have also shown that dish detergents (like Dawn) are known to remove the plant’s natural waxes and oils that help to protect its leaves. Potentially weakening the plant and lessening its protection against further pest damage and/or bacterial and fungal disease. Dawn will also linger in the soil, long after the rain has rinsed it from the leaves. Which in turn can cause the soil to retain moisture longer and therefore may lead to root rot.
It's recommended that if you want to use soap as an insecticidal, use diluted actual soap, like unscented castile soap. Many growers recommend the use of a diluted peppermint castile soap to further deter pests, others feel it increases the potential for phytotoxicity with the addition of the essential oil, so be sure you use it properly diluted and with caution. Castile soap is also safer for use around beneficials.
This information can easily be verified with a simple google search. So please, no longer recommend detergents like Dawn for use on plants.
Please don't shampoo your pets with dish soap! Geez, do some research, many have died right after a bath and it at least messes up their skin ph. Even the Dawn company will tell you that. If you must, only the original blue not concentrated. Any good quality dog shampoo (and I'm not talking Hartz or Sargeants) left sudsy for a couple minutes will suffocate fleas.
😂😂😂😂 I have used Dawn and joy on my plants year after year after year. No harm done you mix a small amount into the water. I also use Dawn on everyone of my pets if they get fleas, but at least once a year; never any problems! Geez!
Except when you finally do have a problem. Then it's too late, but to be fair you don't sound like you really care.
Damn
