We have two lemon trees indoors by the bi-folds.

They are doing well apart from the aphids.

From recent Googling the biological controls are not available yet
this
year.

Spraying advice doesn't seem to include Citrus in the UK.

Any recommendations?
More importantly, anything NOT to use?

They can be considered ornamental at the moment because they are showing
no sign of flowering.


Bayer seem to have the answer:-

I have never used this chemical, so this is not a recommendation, but
hope it helps.


You've never used imidacloprid (Provado)? It's the active ingredient in
that product.


Isn't that one of the chemicals that is killing the bees?
