But no need to buy a chemical insecticide!
Fortunately, I reveal here my recipe for aphid repellent based on black soap.

3. Add the black soap.
4. Shake well to mix.
5. Spray this potion in the morning or at the end of the day.
6. Remember to put it on and under the leaves, stems and branches.
And There you go ! You now know how to treat aphids with black soap on your plants :-)
Easy, fast and efficient, right?
Aphids can't resist this natural solution!
On the other hand, the plants do not suffer, because there is no chemical substance in the black soap.
It is an anti-aphid treatment that is part of an ecological and organic approach.
And it's not expensive and really easy to prepare. Who says better?
This treatment can be used preventively to avoid an invasion of aphids.
It's not negligible!
It is enough to spray this mixture in the spring just before the arrival of the first hot weather.
And it's effective on all types of aphids:black, green, yellow... and even scale insects!
But also on all plants:roses, strawberries, artichokes, lemon trees, tomatoes, cabbage or flowers.
For even more efficiency, you can add 2 tablespoons of tabasco or chilli to the mixture.
Black soap is greasy.
Once deposited on the pests, it sticks them and suffocates them in a few hours.
It also dries them out:the aphids then fall to the ground.
If you are looking for other natural insecticides against aphids, here are 6 plants that are effective.
- Treat the whole plant well, even under the foliage.
- Choose a natural black soap without additives. Otherwise the "natural" and organic effect would no longer be preserved.
- Do not overdose the black soap, it will also suffocate the plant.
- Leave the black soap anti-aphid product to act for at least 45 minutes. But do not hesitate to rinse the flower buds, young shoots or young leaves with clear water. Especially if the plant is in full sun, as the product can burn fragile plants.
- Black soap is not infallible and leaves survivors. Feel free to crush them with your fingers. Just pinch the stem or leaf and let your fingers glide crushing the aphids.
