Garlic Tea. I swear to you this works
2 heads of garlic chpped
2 peppers (the hotter the better e.g habinero)

1 tbsp of dishsoap

dump this into a gallon jug, fill the rest with water and let it set in the sun for a day or so.
In sprayer mix 1/4 cup mixture to a gallon of water
spray on the lawn, bushes, house, trees...
