Organic insecticides: Vitax organic 2 in 1 or Pest off

mapcr77

From what I've read, Vitax is plant and fish extracts, while Pest off is just plant extracts (starch based apparently).

Both are quite pricey and not available anywhere around, so will have to order online and splash the extra delivery costs, so I want to buy the most convenient one.

I want to use them against aphids. Any ideas and suggestions?

Thanks a lot!

If you're just after killing aphids soapy water is very cheep and affective.

I agree, do this regularly for my clients - e.g. a cheap 13p bottle of washing up liquid from Lidl and a cheap manual pumping sprayer does the trick!

This sort of thing!

I don't use anything at all, and find I have very little trouble. The blue tits, ladybirds and lacewings clear them all. If there is an infestation of blackfly, which they don't seem to like as much, then I either blast them off with the hose very quickly, or squash with fingers.
