Aphids!!!

orangefire22200 · #1 (**permalink**) 06-24-2007, 11:50 AM

My sweet sweet girl has got a slight aphid problem. I don't think it's a full blown infestation yet, but I see a few on there and theres some of the honeydew spots on the leaves. I'm sorta poor soooo easy cheap home remedies would be nice, but ANY help/advice is greatly appreciated. THANKS (sorry for lack of pics)

EDIT: Ive read through the stickies already, they helped with identifying the problem, but not so much with solving it.

Well Neem Oil works to get rid of the initial infestation, and continual use will kill the next generation as they lay their eggs in the soiland hopefully you kill all the new ones before they lay eggs and done.

Neematoads are aphid eating bugs that do not harm your plant. You can buy them online.

Yes u should use neem oil 1-2 tablespoons per gallon, and a drop of DISH soap.. coat every leave top and bottom heavily, until dripping. You should do this atleast 3, if not 4 weeks in a row (once a week) to make sure you get rid of them all. There are other ways... try searching "homemade pesticide"
