Default Re: My plants are infected

Ali, try soap bubbles on the insect. Make the bubbles using bio-degradeable soap liquid. Pick the bubbles using toothpick, apply to the insect. Leave for 12-24 hours, then give it a good shower. To make a more potent bubble, add a bit of vegetable/palm oil. The purpose of the bubbles/oil is to stop the insect from getting o2.

This works on my aphids problem, but you have to repeat treatment every few days until they are all gone. Otherwise try Neem Emulsion or one of the home remedies using chiilies & garlic etc.

just my 2-cents worth.
