such as the pear slug, a strength OBJ
tanned by dissolving half pound OF
soap in a gallon OF water is sufficient,
Soft soap will answer as well as hard,
but at least double quantity should be
taken. Any good soap is effective in
destroying soft bodied insects, such as
plant lice and young or soft bodied
larvae. says Marlatt.
