OK, here's another non-food recipe. I got it from the butterfly expert at the huge butterfly display in Disney World. He's an old guy named Pappy Yawn. (kidding.) Most gardeners don't realize they're killing harmless butterflies along with the pests.
Ingredients
- 2 and 1/2 teaspns cooking oil shopping list
- 2 and 1/2 teaspns baby shampoo shopping list
- 1 gallon water shopping list
How to make it
- Mix.
- Pour some in a spray bottle for application in the garden. If the gallon has been still for a while, mix or stir well before filling the spray bottle.

- The Disney World folks say this mixture is lethal on most pesky garden bugs, and safe for butterflies. Your butterflies will love you for it.
