Aphids on my roses, time to wage war

So if i destroy the ants nests at the bases of my roses bushes that would have a significant effect on the aphid populations (by allowing other predatory insects in that the ants wouldve otherwise kept away) ? Do not use poisons to do this as they could also kill your wanted predatory insects {:-). When you remove the ants, you might also find other insects now start attacking the rose bushes because the ants also fed on them {:-) I just settle for culling the aphids with a strong hose spray each time I water, or splashing/spraying them with soapy water (left over windscreen wash water). |
