To help me in my uk garden I leave an area with twiggy growth alone well into spring to overwinter beneficial insects. I also leave 2 or 3 parsnips to flower which really encourages ladybugs & other beneficial insects into my garden. Also lupin flower buds get aphids in spring and the birds totally clean them so any aphids that would attack my veg are culled 🤩

yea that bugs been sucking my snake bean's flowers, it might not gong to produce the snake bean this year. I was looking for it. but those didnt bother my green bean plants. I mix dry chili pepper and garlic and little bit vinegar, I saw somebody post on your tube. but I dont think is working. I am going to buy mild soup tomorrow and mix with the oil you mention and water. thanks for sharing met

You could mention as a mild soap, Castile soap.

I’ve done all this and they continue to come back every week. How do I get it to stop coming back?

I only have a couple plants on the terrace and not every plant was infected with those pests but what worked for me was squishing them with my fingers every single day. Every single day after work I searched my plants for aphids and squished them for about 1 hour. Some days even before work, so on those days I checked twice. Checking every leaf, every stem, also the stakes that hold the plants. After a week or two I couldn't find a single aphid anymore. They seem to prefer young parts of the plants, growing fresh out of the stems but some are to be found on older and larger parts of the plants too. Well, a week or two later I got black flea beatles. Did the exact same thing. At the third day I couldn't find a single flea beatle anymore. It takes a lot of time even if just 3 plants are infected so if you have a garden with a lot of infected plants that will take quite some time or might seriously be impossible since you still need time off, meet friends, sleep, etc. If you don't find a single one today, keep checking thoroughly on the daily since you might have just missed one or two and one or two aphids can become a colony in a heartbeat. I stopped checking thoroughly daily when I couldn't find a single one for a couple days in a row but I check a couple minutes maybe twice a week still. For next year I have planed to grow flowers too, not just vegetables, in the hopes of attracting insects whose larvae eat aphids and maybe flea beatles aswell. But since that is a future project I can't say if it really attracts beneficial insects into the 3rd floor. :D (I write this comment hoping in the 4 weeks your problem got solved already. :D)

Have you tried borox mixed in with meat kind. I am told that gets rid of the ants so I am experiencing with that now.

Thank you very informative. I haven't had much success with my garden they killed my rose bushes, sunflower bush and I'm just not doing well gardening. I tried neem oil and soapy water but maybe I wasn't doing it enough or just too many. I'll try again this coming garden season in CT. Thanks

Hey Dolly, try and up the dosage, about 1 table spoon to a quart of water. If you spray them early in the morning then the aphids have all day to dehydrate from the sun.
