I sprayed my mums with insecticidal soap. Now it's still covered with
dead aphids. How do I get rid of these?

Thanks,
Adam

The same way many people get rid of live ones -- you hose them off.

A good stream of water will rid you of them.

They will fall off on their own. If you use a sprayer hose, you'll
knock off the remaining beneficial soap.

and since it's primarily a contact insecticide what does it matter?


"Nature, left alone, is in perfect balance.
Harmful insects and plant diseases are always present,
but do not occur in nature to an extent which requires the use of poisonous chemicals.
The sensible approach to disease and insect control is to grow sturdy crops in a healthy environment."

I'm sorry, but as the aphids' attorney I must object! Their last wish was to

OY!!! You find a rabbi! But checking them for circumcision requires a very

But as the local constable, I must inform you that it is illegal to have a
