Aphids

[chicks]

While I was checking my girls this morning I noticed Aphids just a few so I went to the nursery to get Lady Bugs but they were out it seems Aphids are out in force here in Oregon and the Nursery suggested this (see picture) Anyone ever used this and any comments about using it will be appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Ive never used that, but I use Neem Oil Extract when the lights go out. I have three outdoor ladies and I'm still Aphid free. Those things eat everything but the kitchen sink. Good luck!

If you'd like to order some ladybugs they are available from ARBICO. https://www.arbico-organics.com/product/ladybird-beetle-ladybugs-hippodamia-convergens/ladybugs However they are located in Arizona not New Mexico.

You can use pyretheran based products but very hard on these plants. Use neem oil or if flowering sm90.

Oh don't get neem oil on buds. Smells and tastes horrible.

I use three things when I have afads Neem oil extract, 3 in1 garden (first bug listed are afids ) aza max all three are safe to be used right up to day of harvest

If your plants are small hit them with neem oil I mean saturate them top bottom and all stems I even spray the medium I'm using . do this every 7 days for a month and that will take care of them good luck

Thank I got some yesterday but soon as the sun came up most of them flew away no surprise right. I will put more out tonight. I am also hatching a praying mantis egg hopefully when they are introduced to my girls they will stick around longer.
