Cutting to the chase...

I used to mix detergent, a dab of anti-freeze, and water in a sprayer for my grandfather to use on the ALB's in his back yard. Bugs don't have lungs. The soap clogs their breathing pores and they suffocate. I was surprised at how effective it was.

You can probably do without the anti-freeze and use an organic soap product if you wish to be more 'green.'
