PAS 1:

"Homemade chili powder sprays can protect plants against insects and other pests that may be eating the garden. Chili powder spray won't kill all insects, but the spray will repel most insects and other pests that eat garden plants. It should not be sprayed directly on fruits, vegetables or herbs meant for the table as they could end up tasting like chili powder. Limit the spray to nonedible leaves."
