I have many houseplants which often get infected with different pests such 
as aphids.  I don't like using chemicals so I thought maybe using one of 
my plants would be a alternative.  Do I boil the leaves to extract the 
toxin?  Whats the boiling temperature?  For how long?  To dilute the 
potion, whats the ratio of mixture to water?   My e-mail is 
p.y.adkins@att.net   thank you.
