Any recommendations for aphids and mealy bug control. I don't want chemicals and the liquid soap mixture just isn't working.
Help Please!!!

controlling pest
Part of the problem may be ants. It is claimed that ants carry these eggs to their nests overwinter and bring them out in spring to form "herds". This reference may help control the pests over the long haul.

I know it's not ants. They are on my plants I over wintered inside, and certainly won't use chems in the house.
Thanks for the link
Here's a simple recipe - I've not tried it, but experimenting could be quickly tried. http://www.recipegoldmine.com/house/house19.html
And here's a commercially prepared solution using garlic. http://americanatural.com/natincon.html
Gardens Alive! has an oil-spray that might be okay to use indoors.
Great links thanks Yuska
I saw this recipe in the brug forum, and it worked great for me...
1 gallon of water
2-3 oz. H2O2 (hydrogen peroxide)
1 cup sugar
I used this as a mister, and it kills soft bodied insects. It also sticks to the plants leaves to prevent further damage.
Hope this helps! Also http://www.gardensalive.com is offering $25 free, you pay only shipping. I got my order REALLY fast!

WOW Thank you Tamara!
