Pretty wet around here and its not getting better. I have aphids everywhere! They started on my roses and now I just noticed them on my clematis! So far I've tried hose blasts and a detergent, hot sauce & water mixture. Haven't touched the clematis yet though as I don't know what is safe for it. I'm going to buy some ladybugs tomorrow and I'm hoping that will help. My question(s): Is there anything I can do to stop them from coming back after being blasted and/or sprayed? Is it safe to use the detergent mixture on clematis? PS...I also have white spots on the leaves of my roses now! |
