Green Aphids - dudette - 05-06-2004
We suddenly have a major major infestation of aphids which is attacking the leaves of our plum tree and I wondered if anyone knew of what I can do to get rid of these pests on a grand scale? They haven't gone anywhere near my petunias yet, but I found it very strange they would have gone for the plum tree.

Thanks Mark... do you think I can use soap on a large scale too? I'd heard tea is good too... black and unflavoured for them and rooibos for me :cheeky:

soak chopped garlic in water for two weeks strain contents, and use in spray bottle, works as a general insecticide
