hi group, does anyone use reasonably non-toxic treatments for aphids?
thanks
any advice.

A squirt of the garden hose. Knocks them off.

A temporary solution that needs to be repeated frequently. Insecticidal
soaps made from dish soap or commercially purchased such as:

Also investigate the possibility of beneficial insects in your area.

The insecticidal soaps also need to be applied frequently, they have no
residuial impact. These products kill the insects by means of suffocation
and must be applied directly to the critters.
