Darn, bud, that is a tough one to swallow. Do you have an infested outdoor plot with a door close to your grow that they keep coming in through? Do you have pets that go outdoors and then come inside and visit your growing area? Do you have indoor houseplants that are infected? The first thing to do is find their reservoirā¦ where they are coming fromā¦ and eradicate them there. Then and only then will you be able to eradicate them inside your grow.

No pets, no other plants, winter outside.
I am thinking they came with my soil. If the isopropyl works instead of the ethanol, I am all set today, my last package just come in to make the one and done spray.

I still mummify the aphids with safers BTK. Iām not sure why, but it kills them all.

Iād ask JP if that would work before you go ruining a batch. I was going to make that stuff up last spring when I had spider mites, but couldnāt get the ethyl alcohol. My plants werenāt too big so I tried completely dunking them, upside down, into a pail of Ferminator, the plant wash. I did that 3 days in a row, then again a week later. Killed 'em.

I had to spray stuff today. Black flies. It was in one container. I use neemoil max and dawn with hydrogen peroxide. Nothing likes to smell of that stuff. If it burns me, I know it burns them.
I have some seeds from over the years from members here, giveaways, stuff like that. Some just got extremely too big for me something I didnāt wanna deal with some had a few little problemsā¦ some I have not even tried. if youāre in the states and youāre looking for a big bag of beans Iām getting rid of them. Iāll get a list ready. But Iām not trying to hand out to a bunch of beans to everyone. More like one big bag.

I appreciate that thatās some good advice. Iām not good with a bunch of shipping. Itās not that I donāt think theyāre any good. I just have several copies and I donāt think that Iām ever going to grow them.

Yah , it says itās for caterpillars, but Iāve used it 10 different times to mummify the aphids. Afterwards the syrphid flies ate them.
