Root aphids again.

(1/1)

Palustris:
According to to the Website of a supplier of Auriculas, root aphids may be removed by bare rooting the plants and bathing them in a horticultural soft soap solution. So has anyone done this and did it work?

MarcR:
My apologies to any organic gardeners who may be offended!  A nicotine based systemic insecticide will work quickly and effectively without disturbing the plant.
Fipronil, used to treat fleas on cats, sprayed on the under-sides of the lower leaves should also work.
