If you’ve got a minor infestation of lice on your plants, one way to get rid of it is with a foliar solution made from stinging nettles.

Wearing rubber gloves, gather a three-gallon bucket full of nettles that have yet to set seed, and steep them, covered, in water for 12-24 hours (rainwater works best). The solution then has to be used immediately, or it will lose its effectiveness.
Carefully transfer the solution into a spray bottle and apply it directly to the affected plants. Repeat the application for several days, and the problem should go away.
