When it comes to killing aphids its fairly easy. My first recommendation is to use a combination of soap and water. You can apply liberally and wash the aphids off or you can let the dish soap do the killing. It's recommended to return and repeat this process every 3 days until aphid activity is gone. I find this takes about three to four weeks.
The second recommendation is to use diatomaceious earth. This dust is organic and does a great job when applied liberally. You can use a duster as i have in the video or you can apply it by hand. My suggestion is to do a light water misting of your plants prior to applying the dust. Be sure to wear a mask as this dust gets every where. It's important to treat underneath the leaves of the plants considering that's where the aphids commonly are.
The third recommendation is to use an green based insecticide spray called mirimichi green pest control. This pesticide is made with a combination of oils. It works and smells great. Mirimichi green should be re applied every week or two depending on severity for 3 or 4 weeks.
The fourth option is to use an insecticide spray like permethrin, bifenthrin or pyrethrins. I prefer this method. Use the label rates for aphids on the product and mix with the labeled rate of water. I commonly do two sprays two weeks apart to solve aphid issues.
Keep in mind its not uncommon to have ants when you have a large aphid population. These products will also help control the ants.

Some garden centers sell live ladybugs. Last year I bought a couple containers, and just watched them move through the yard though and protected my snowball bushes
Great tip!
Great Video! The diatomaceous earth is an interesting option. I typically use a Neem oil solution with Castile soap as an emulsifier, does a great job on aphids, caterpillars, etc.
Thanks for sharing! I've never had fantastic results with neem oil but I know a tin of people that do
Great video this will help with my garden veggies good to know there’s a few different options
Glad it was helpful!
Like one guy said with ladybugs. I told my family that if they find a lady bug, they need to bring it to the tree upfront of the house with the aphids on it.
I am a pest applicator in Utah County, and I preferred to use nature for this method because i wanted to see how well it worked. My results were the ladybugs and their larvae ate alot.
Plus, Utah Rose Society mentioned aphids were out of control this year, and that is what I have been seen on my days out spraying.
Ladybugs work great if you have them but make sure the ants are killed off because they do protect aphids. And another great vid.
Oh I found my sprinkler was hitting the leaves of the tree. So it was weakening the tree. The sprinkler was hitting the tree because the ground was settling and it was leaning back. Fixed it.
great points!
Yo.. I had broccoli 🥦 planted in my garden.. they were doing great 👍 huge.. the wifey and I noticed
White little butter flies 🦋 were attracted to them… Low and behold that broccoli became infested by larvae that just consumed them 😳
Aphids…….. oh.. I’ve been spraying neem oil for my garden..
Don’t know if I’ll go brain damaged from this..🤪 lol. But it’s effective.. love your advice…
YOU’RE SPOT ON..!! And I learned something
Thanks for sharing!
#5 Don't do anything and let the ladybugs and wasps take care of them. Remember you are going to kill pollinators also with some of the methods.
On contact yes. Best to treat early morning imor late evening to avoid
@@pestandlawnginja True I use Spinosad for sod webworms and fleas on the law. I use it just before it gets dark because it breaks down in sunlight
0:42 great now I'm itchy and think bugs are crawling on me but I'm in my office!
😆
I didn’t know they’d chew up my basil…… till this year 😣🤬
Frustrating!
