Early Spring Insect Soap Spray

This suffocates early spring insects, especially on fruit trees.

1 gallon light-grade oil
1/2 gallon warm water
1 pound laundry soap

Dissolve soap in water. Add oil and mix well to emulsify. Dilute with 20 times more water before use. Apply the soap while the trees are still in a dormant, leafless state, covering the tree thoroughly with each spraying.
