if it helps - i make a number of sprays for myself - and they are really easy

 

black, green and white fly hate garlic - so i make a garlic spray up (just by boiling up a pan of water and dropping a bulb (chopped) of garlic in it to simmer - takes about 10 mins - let it cool and then put in sprayers

 

you can make it stronger, by adding more garlic - thn dilute if necc

 

to kill lots of bugs though - i make up a potent spray - thats garlic and rhubarb leaves it's fantastic at killing up the unwanteds

 

you can do it hot or old (cook up the leaves or just steep them) as the rhubarb is leaves are seriously toxic - you should not use on crops that you intend to eat within the next few days or so - and a further warning - it stinks to high heaven ( i normally leave mine to festure for at least 2 month - boy does that hum)

I've used the nicotine spray but never garlic or rhubarb, but rhubarb leave are extremely toxic so maybe give that a try.
