I think most household soaps are not recommended as insecticidal sprays due to the chemicals used in the manufacture.

Also technically it would be illegal to spray something like Fairy Liquid as it is not licensed for such use. (But who would know in the real world?)

This from the same authorities who actively encourage us to use grey water from baths and sinks?

Cheers,

Jerry  thanks for the info.

Has any one got a cheaper alternative.

Your right about the bathwater, the amount of dirt and grime that come off my two little one its more like a liquid feed.

Keep them comming

I use soft soap which is £4.50 a tub. It's recommended for gardens. You could also try rhubarb tea.
