What is the best remedy?


Since mint doesn't flower at this time of year (doesn't attract bees),
Acetamiprid is a good choice (in my view).

That's what I used on one of my mint plants a week ago in the form of 'bug
clear ultra'


That's not a good idea for things you eat - soft soap spray (or washing
up liquid, diluted, with a squirt of meths) is far better.
