And I would go one step further and say it's not the aphids themselves you dislike, it's what they do that you are objecting to! (there is a difference, she says while nodding wisely)<br /><br />But hopefully Barney will help.

Good luck in the fight - and I kinda agree on the whole 'hate' thing too, an intense dislike of aphids sounds rational to me:)Cobyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07730025899595026688noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5630779053316348486.post-2506724269474576782010-05-21T15:26:39.716+10:002010-05-21T15:26:39.716+10:00Oh, what a bugger, Indira.

We haven't had much hassle with them (don't know why, touch wood) but yes, it's very disappointing when someone(thing) gets to your harvest before you do!!<br /><br />I discourage my girls from using 'hate'- we call it an 'adult word' ;) so you're safe! xxLisshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03075362324473272101noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5630779053316348486.post-12863196547147960962010-05-21T14:21:33.390+10:002010-05-21T14:21:33.390+10:00Well who can blame them, they must have an eye for...Well who can blame them, they must have an eye for good produce.Mark @ Cafe Campanahttp://cafecampana.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5630779053316348486.post-52232182596848623602010-05-21T12:21:18.771+10:002010-05-21T12:21:18.771+10:00Hi Indira,

I used them after seeing your post and i've managed to save my jalapeno bush despite it having a shocker of an aphid infestation. <br /><br />I've never had success with white oil...it just killed the plants! <br /><br />I'm totally sold on the bugs for bugs route and next time I wont even bother trying to solve the aphid problem any other way.<br /><br />hope you get rid of the buggers soon.suziwong66http://www.suziwongcreatins.netnoreply@blogger.com
