I haven't used it yet, either, but it looks promising. Yes, it's expensive. I figure I will try it this year, and if it's successful, I'll look for ways to make my own. I don't grow super-hot peppers, but capsaicin is pretty available in various forms as a supplement, topical, etc. Seems like a combo of capsaicin and oil (neem, if you also need an insecticide or for an antifungal boost) would do it, although it probably wouldn't have the same staying power against rain as a formula with paraffin. Getting the proportions right would be tough, though, but I don't think capsaicin burns plants the way it burns people!
