How do i get rid of bugs on my house plant?
In a spray bottle put in a few drops of dish soap with water. Spray this on your plants often. You can also water your plants with a little soapy water. The soap kills the bugs and it's completely harmless to the plant!
Reply:of course you have. you can powder some naptholyne bars, which are commonly used to insectiside the cloths, add this with water and spray in the mud (not in the leave).

you can also put egg shells brocken in to small pieces in to the mud. this will also help you to prevent bugs.

or just put 1/2 cloves of garlic over your tub or spead some mint leave.
Reply:Katie R gave you a good answer. I do that, however prefer to use Dawn dishwashing soap.The stuff really works. You can also put the plants in the sink when applying the soapy water. the bugs will wash down the drain.
Reply:Get praying mantids. They are voracious predators and will not harm your plants. They will eat anything that moves! Plus, they are pretty cool looking! You can find these at some garden stores.
Reply:Cayenne pepper and water mixed and sprayed works.
Reply:Put rubbing alochol on cotton ball and gently rub the leaves and stems.
