Clove and Wintergreen oils have been used for eons as insect repellents and the Sesame, Soybean, and Lecithin oils would be to help keep those otehr oils on plants, although they most likely are unnecessary. I would be very skeptical of this company since they are working with Dow AgScience in developing an ant killer. I think this product will be another useless addition to the Organic Insect control line working with less effect than most homemade stuff does.

Insecticidal soap and Neem oil only work on contact. They will kill any soft bodied insect. Ants are not considered a soft bodied insect and that's why it does not work on them. From the document linked below: What is Insecticidal Soap? All soaps are made of salts and fatty acids, but not all soaps are good for killing insects. Some soaps can be highly destructive to plants and are useful as herbicides. Insecticidal soaps, however, are specifically formulated to kill insect pests while having few adverse effects to people, plants and the environment. Insects must come in contact with the soap before it dries in order to be controlled. Therefore, thorough coverage to both tops and bottoms of leaves is essential. Do not apply insecticidal soaps directly to water or use near a water source. Multiple applications are needed to control most insects. Hard water is not effective for mixing soap sprays, so use softened or distilled water for best results. Read on for more info like this. Here is a link that might be useful: Insecticidal Soap

I did some googling, and there are many recipes that call for those ingredients. Is this one similar? Chicken, Orange-Honey Baked Posted by : Karen Selwyn 1/4 cup frozen orange juice concentrate 1 tablespoon lemon juice 3 tablespoons honey, divided 1/2 teaspoon grated orange peel 1/2 teaspoon ginger 4 skinless, boned chicken breasts 1/4 cup orange marmalade Orange slices for garnish vegetable or olive oil for cooking Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Prepare a baking dish by spraying with oil. Lightly spray a saute pan with oil. Saute chicken breasts on all sides. While sauteeing, combine orange juice concentrate, lemon juice, 2 tablespoons honey, orange peel and ginger in the prepared baking dish. Add chicken pieces, turning to coat all sides. Let chicken marinate for 10 minutes. Bake chicken uncovered for 8 minutes, then baste with pan juices. Bake an additional 8 minutes and baste again. Mix together marmalade and remaining 1 tablespoon honey. Use the mixture to glaze chicken breasts. Continue to bake 8 to 10 minutes or until done. Transfer chicken to serving plate. Turn up heat and reduce pan juices until thickened and pour over chicken. Garnish with orange slices.

I Beth..hope you and the kiddos are all well. it could be it was washed more than the others, who knows...did you by any chance wash it with the A&H? I have blamed that detergent for slight fading. I don't think its from OB's that would cause more of a dusty look as if you dusted furniture with the garment. But to prevent any more fading I'd recomment cheer powder..but add the Cheer to the washer first, there's just a small amount of Sodium percarbonate in cheer not enough to fade colors but just enough to neutralize the chlorine in tap water, so by adding the cheer to the wash water first it will prevent the chlorine from causing fading..the sodium percarbonate in the cheer is the secret ingredient and why Cheer is considered a **Color Guard** detergent lol.
