Is dish soap an effective organic method of pest control?

Answer by  Maggie72 (70)

There are several. Many bugs, earwigs in particular, are, much like frat boys, attracted to the scent of beer. Leave a cup of beer out where ever you have seen earwigs and they will happily lean in for a taste and take an accidental dip. Too bad these guys can't swim!

Yes it is. Dish soaps killes ants and other small bugs. They do not kill spiders or beetles. Just a ounce of soap with a water filled spray bottle.
