Aphids on honeysuckle again!

Post by Annie »

Ok tried the spraying with the water hose, just knocks the flowerbuds off.
Them lil suckers can hang on now!!
Think I'm going to try and use that soap spray. You can buy it at a store but I thought you could make your own too. If so anyone have the directions on how to make it?

I just put a couple of tablespoons of citrus scented dishsoap in a gallon bottle, and then pour some into your spray bottle. Really soak them.
