Why you want to use organic Pest Repellents
Organic pest repellents are better to use because they are safer for the environment, safer for use on fruits and vegetables used for eating, and instead of killing the insects it repels them. Killing insects is not always a good idea because even tho, you may get rid of the bad insects that are eating your plants and infesting your home, garden, and pets those chemical pesticides also kill beneficial insects like plant pollinators (Honey bees, bumble bees, and butterflies for instance). Plants need these pollinators or they will not grow unless you manually pollinate them.

Organic Pest Repellent Recipe-Remedy #4
Using Tobacco
Mix 1 cup of tobacco into 2 liters of water.
Sit the mixture out in the sun or in warm location, allowing it to rest for 24 hours.
Check the color of the mixture. Ideally, the pesticide will look similar to the hue of a light tea. If it is too dark, dilute it with water. If it is so light colored you cannot tell if it is turning dark, allow it to sit an additional few hours.
Add 3 tablespoons of mild liquid dish soap to the solution and Mix thoroughly. (I prefer Dawn, Original dish soap).
Pour the mixture into a large squirt bottle.
Shake the solution inside the bottle once more to combine it further and spray on affected plants.
