I have good results with neem. Some people say to use soapy water but to me it seems the neem does a better job.

I have also just used wet paper towel to wipe off the undersides of the leaves if I have just one small plant that has insects.
If at all,possible I try and use the least toxic stuff on my plants.

I used neem a bunch of times in a two week period and plants seem happier but those things are still there. Are they dead? Were they the aphids or the aphid eggs? They do wipe off easy but I can't physically go through each plant and wipe every leaf individually, as severe lower back problems prevent me from doing so.
Yes I've found a couple spots of odd gooey stuff, but literally only two or three. I will research waxy aphid soon but any more insight is appreciated.
Do those tan "bugs" on your leaves move or crawl around? Cause mine don't. Do waxy aphids move around or do they just pick a spot and chill there?

the waxy ones kinda get "put" there by ants and stay sucking the plant juices and laying eggs .
full strenght neem (2 tablespoons ) per gallon emulsified in soap or ksil.. then stirred in WARM water (80*) - gotta be warm or it fucks it all up... they WILL go away but you gotta stop the ants or they will just get carried back... tangelfoot works for ants...

Love the tanglefoot just remember to put around any stakes or cages as well since the ants will climb up anything that can and use it to climb on the plants.. I hate ants but you have to admit they are genius when it comes to living.


I have used my jewlers loupe to find mites and aphids on the leaves and treated with the neem and checked an hour later, some were still on the leave but they were dead and not moving..

There's still a lot of them on the plants. And I have noticed clear goo on leaves. They have started flowering and I'm really worried about not getting rid of the aphids
