Thank you for the help. I was surprised not to hear any mention of ants though and the problem they create by their farming of aphids, effectively multiplying the problem tenfold! If anyone reading this has noticed many ants also on the plants then you need to stop them. Apply tree grease to the plants main stem or tree tunk creating an impenetrable barrier to the ants. Once the ants die and stop revisiting you should notice a lesser problem. I just learned this and it really helped, although I still need to get rid of the aphids that are remaining, hence this video is very useful!

I love this vid and have mad respect for it. I live in a hot and humid environment where pests are absolutely inevitable. I have tried every organic method I could think of. I have now resorted to Spectracide Malathion. I FINALLY have beautiful plants. Believe me though, it hurts my heart to have to use chemicals. But at this point, I just don’t know what else will work. If I don’t use them, it is pointless to even put in all the money and hard work in my garden.

I find physically squashing aphids don't remove 100% and also damages the the soft, young parts of the plants, which apparently is where most aphids are found. Spraying with water pressure also don't remove 100% of aphids. I find light detergent spray almost always remove 100% of aphids on infested plants. Neem oil spray is also effective but works much slower but can provide global control of aphids over the entire plant. By nuking the aphids with detergent solution first and then followed by neem oil with detergent spray mixture after a few days is the most effective way to rid aphids off infested plants. To ensure aphids don't come back, take the cause out of the equation by avoiding excessively fertilizing with nitrogen rich fertilizers.

Power BF you can also make white oil by adding some vegetable oil in with the detergent and water. It’s really good. I use dr bonners peppermint liquid soap and any kind of plant oil(you can use neem if you want it to be stronger) with water and it does the trick.

Greetings from Nova Scotia, Canada! Up until this past summer I used most of your various suggestions with really limited success until I employed a dormant oil spray in very late winter and very early spring. This allowed many of my plants to get off to a great start before the aphids arrived and then it was just a matter of the occasional insecticide soap to specific areas of concern. Take care and stay safe!

great vid! I love using soapy water. I grow everything in container so I can dunk all infected mature plant into soapy water and let it soak for 30 seconds to 1 minute before I use water blasting the dead aphids away and also clean the plant. Cover the soil with plastic bag first. Just do this in two to three consecutive days and no aphids survived! You do need to figure out the cause that weakening your plants tho. Otherwise, aphids will come back again and again. Too much nitrogen or incorrect amount of watering are usually the two main culprits. Cheers!

Another organic gardener said too much nitrogen causes an aphid infestation, it's like ringing a dinner bell. A balanced fertilizer given sparingly is the best preventative. I would also think that if a plant isn't a heavy feeder like corn and tomatoes, then just using compost should be enough nutrition for most plants.

Aphid eater wasps will readily nest in a wooden block with 1/8 inch diameter holes drilled as deep as your bit will go without going all the way through. They paralyze 25 or so aphids then lay an egg on the mass sealing them into a chamber with pine resin moving down the hole until it is filled sealing the entrance with pine resin and grains of sand or other debris.

Agreed, aphids are a very real garden pest. During the second world war, many people converted their gardens to vegetable and fruit growing - food was rationed and every little helped. The aphids were discouraged then simply by spraying a strong solution of soapy water - not detergent like we wash up in now - real soap. Dissolving scraps of toilet soap in hot water was ideal. When the soap dries on the aphid it automatically seals up it's breathing tubes - they are down the side of the body. With this method there is no need to add substances to poison the aphids. Quite a lot of the aphid colonies are placed there by the local ants. Sprinkling Diatomaceous Earth over the local ant heaps discourages the ants so they moved their colonies elsewhere - again, this is a non toxic solution..Thanks for disclosing all the various modern methods of doing this job!
