Use 'Sevin'. It comes in liquid or powder form. It can be found at your local garden center.
Reply:I heard you can use a 50/50 mixture of water and rubbing acohol with 3-4 drops of liquid soap. Spray the mixture on the plants.
Reply:look it up on the web
Reply:Parasitic wasps, ladybird beetles, syrphid fly larvae, and lacewing larvae attack aphids that reproduce on the crop. In humid weather, fungi may kill many aphids. That's all I know of...
Reply:Solution: dilute some tobasco is water. It won't kill them, but it will get rid of them as it tastes terrible, and you don't have to worry about the nasty effects of chemicals. The solution should be made of one part tobasco to eight parts water. Take care!
Reply:put some lady bugs or praying mantis's in your garden, this is a natural way to get rid of aphids.


If your plant is turning yellow, then you maybe over watering.
Reply:Squash them by hand. you also might try collecting as many as you can, and put them in a blender. Then spray your plants with the result. Seems to work, and it can't be any more harmful than the bugs themselves.
