so on my plants that i'm overwintering i've been battling aphids, and in various stages too!
i've controlled alot, i had to get fly paper and i filled one in about half a day. (yes, i'm embarrassed to say that
)
so far i've done the following
brought a hose and a sprayer inside (multi head deal)
i would once a week spray and douse the plants on "mist" and hoping that most of the aphids fly off the plant and let them drain out, then apply a liberal spray of diluted dish soap. been doing this since around early October when i pulled all of my plants. and they still appear on my plants
i also used my rainbow to water drown them though the vaccum when i cleaned up the base where i set my plants.
should i consider swapping to neem oil? i have a plastic seed starter greenhouse if i need to go more extreme and go the ladybug method, thoughts?
