i spent hours rubbing mine as i didnt want the chemicals of the soap on them ... worked a treat but it took ages ...

tomato leaves are meant to be good as well

well.. I've just done the garlic spray and rubbed off as many as I could.. making my skin crawl to be honest.. strawberries look rather healthy though.. do hope they don't end up garlicy.. should I be keeping the basket away from other plants??

Whilst not wishing to detract from this, be aware lady birds have wings so can, and will, fly away

With luck they may stay and lay eggs to help solve your problem, or they may just clear of into the sunset to pastures new
