I tried the pepper/ garlic mace once, I don't think I made it strong enough or used it often enough though.
I have a bunch of hot peppers growing this year though so I will give it another try.
Growing one of the top 3 hottest hybrid peppers and that may be all I do with it depending on how tasty/ edible they are 
Wouldn't the tobacco thing not be good for poppies someone is intending to consume potentially?

I was thinking the same thing regarding the nicotine, I've always read not to use it on veggies etc. But I could be wrong. Thanks for the input all.
I'm gonna try a 1% Neem oil solution next, just a leaf at a time til I see how it reacts. Eventually I'll find what works best.

Coming back to the thread I will say. . Yeah.. nicotinia shouldn't be used on vegetables. and things you intend to consume right away. ..but then again you wouldn't eat anything you sprayed a commercial pesticide on, right? LOL
Now.. with that said, yes the garlic/pepper-mace / nicotinia - tea recipes are natural substances, so yes you would want to make a fairly strong decoction for your (tea). Make sure you strain the liquid real good. I have ruined a few spray bottles with them getting clogged.
regarding residue.. Since the ingredients are natural.. you can always wash off any residual residues off the plant/s once the bugs are dead or leave.
I have used the nicotinia and pepper tea both.. on Cannabis before, without them effecting the quality of the end product. HOWEVER, That would not be true, if you sprayed close to harvest. I had mite infestations in younger vegatative stage. Not during flower cycle. If I had an infestation in flower cycle.. I probably would have lost the harvest.
