My lonicera (the sort that has the spicy smell) keeps getting infested with aphids. To keep them at bay, I think I'd have to spray about twice a day. There is a condo block not away and there is a lonicera (same variety I think) hanging over the wall into the street. There's never a sign of an aphid and it blooms all Summer. Any suggestions will be appreciated thanks
I started using Safer's soap on my roses to get rid of aphids but someone else here advised that a good shot of water works...so I tried that and she's right! It's way more effective than the soap!
Thanks I've tried Safer's but, on honeysuckle, I get a horrible mess which the bees do not like. So.............. out with hose !!! John
I was having problems with aphids and leafhopper nymphs on well everything. I mixed a concoction that seems to be working really well. 1 liter warm water 1 table spoon Dr. Bonners peppermint liquid castile soap 1 teaspoon olive oil Shake and spray
