How Can I Get Rid of Aphids in My Garden Naturally?

[CoyoteMagic]

If you get ladybugs, release them at night. they are less likely to fly away then. Their larva eat even more aphids than the ladybugs do. They are black and orange ugly looking things that you will find on your plants. Kind of look like mini aligators


Bug spray

1Tbs pink dish soap--the cheap pink stuff

1Tbs antiseptic mouthwash

2Tbs tobacco tea---2 inch piece of chewing tobacco placed in an old pantyhose and soaked in a gallon of warm water. Soak for a good day until it looks like tea.


Mix it all in you hose end sprayer (one of those miracle grow sprayers) Spray all your plants except tomatoes

We were overrun by ladybug's last year, so you would think if they were a natural predator, there would be less aphids this year, but it seems to be the opposite.

Look in to soap nuts. I use them for sugar ants in my kitchen.
