I find it amazing that plants can withstand that blast and yet the pests
were presumably blown away. I enjoyed it more when they said that they
didn't know how it worked so i wonder who had the bright idea in the
first place?

So next time your house plants have aphids it will be out with the
hair dryer.

I think it not only blew them away, they suggested the sudden blast of heat
killed the pests. As long as it's not a special plant it might be worth a
try, especially for those difficult to get rid of greenhouse whitefly. Mind
you it will just be more confirmation to the neighbours if they see me with
a hairdryer marching towards my greenhouse. :-(
