No, chili insecticide cannot kill insects. The home-made treatment instead functions as a repellent by driving away insects that tend not to like being around or transporting strong odors. When combined with diluted non-dishwasher detergent, it will serve as an insecticide, through the soapy component, to kill insects on the plant and a deterrent, through the chili ingredients, to prevent area insects from even thinking of coming near the plant in question.

Yes, Peptic, but think it would have to be extracted to be of any use.
