If you have outdoor or stray cats who routinely enter your garden, peppermint oil is one of the essential oils that are known to be potentially toxic to cats. On the other hand, cats dislike the scent of rosemary, which can make it a digging deterrent. Tomato Leaf Spray Fleece or insect-proof mesh will exclude them and may be worth using on veg and other low-growing crops, such as strawberries or herbs. Into a litre of water mix a pinch of cayenne pepper and 1 tablespoon of washing-up liquid and spray the actual insects. Make a natural aphid spray using vinegar. Combine 1 tablespoon of liquid soap, 4 tablespoons of white vinegar, and a gallon of water.

Toxic compounds called alkaloids are found in the leaves of tomato plants. These tomato leaves can be chopped, soaked in water overnight, drained and diluted with water in a spray bottle to create a natural aphid killer. Unless you are allergic to tomatoes, this recipe isn’t dangerous for humans or plants. Directly spray the leaves and undersides of plants in your garden to kill the harmful plant lice.

Some people choose to plant gardens full of beneficial fruits and vegetables to feed their families. Using chemical pesticides to remove pests would negate any health benefits hoping to be gained. Organic pesticides such as plant oils (e.g. Vitax Plant Guard Pest & Disease Control, Bug Clear Fruit & Veg Ultra, Vitax Rose Guard) have a largely physical mode of action and can be effective against aphids. These pesticides have a very short persistence. Plant oil and fatty acid products are less likely to affect larger insects such as ladybird adults Encourage ‘ aphid predators’ in the garden, such as ladybirds, ground beetles, hoverflies, parasitoid wasps and earwigs. Be aware that in spring aphid populations often build up before natural enemies are active in sufficient numbers and then give good control Spider mites are another tiny pest that can cause big problems in your garden. If the leaves of your plants are dry, brittle or falling off, you might be dealing with a spider mite infestation.

While the eggs are not an immediate threat, as soon as they hatch, the new aphids will start feeding on your plants. 15. Get Rid of Ants Using water is perhaps the easiest, but most time-consuming method on this list. All you have to do is jet wash them off the stems and leaves of your plants. You will have to regularly rinse your plants for a couple of days to target most of your aphid infestation. Make sure that when you spray the aphids that it is hard enough to wash them off, but also be wary of this method on delicate plants. Even if this method does not entirely work, it can lead to spreading them across to other plants and aiding their infection.
