Killing aphids

D & K on Mar 19, 2015Yep, good ole fashion liquid dishwashing soap. Mix about 2 tablespoons to a quart of water, pour into a spray bottle and spray your plants. Be certain to spray the underside of leaves as well. An old gardeners trick and it works well.Helpful Reply

Ana Soto-Glasnapp on Mar 19, 2015I've use the water from boiled jalapeƱos or ANY the of really hot pepper like serranos or habanero. I'll pour it (after it's cooled) into a spray bottle and spray your plant making sure to get under the leaves where the aphids love to live. Totally ORGANIC no pesticides or chemicals! Been using for 40 years and it really works.Helpful Reply
