On the
Blister beetles, make a mixture of ground cayenne pepper and tobacco
juice. In a gallon of water put one plug of chewing tobacco, and
about 4 tablespoons of ground cayenne pepper. Bring the water to
a boil and strain it. Let it cool completely, put in a sprayer
and spray the plants with it. It will stay on the plants until
the next rain or the next watering. At that time it will be
washed off.
This is
good for a lot of plants, and it also is not toxic.
Another
way to drive away the Blister Beetles is by planting French Marigolds
in with your garden. They do not like the smell, and they are
confused as to which plant is editable.
