I've had such an issue with these buggers this year. Thanks for the tip

I spray dish soap and dettol mix diluted. Works within two zaps.

Or can scrape off with tooth brush.. brisles work better on uneven natural surfaces. Dip it in a soapy liquid mug after two or three strokes.

I'm doing it in the same way! Well working!

I remember two years ago, i found an ant nest near some plants that were infested with aphids. After watching them for a bit, i noticed the ants were actually farming them. The ants would clean and protect the aphids and the aphids would feed the ants juices from the plants. Was very interesting...until i wiped out all the aphids mwhahaha 😅

I actually got rid of a helianthus that was a magnet for aphids. I never thought of doing this instead, but now I am prepared for a future situation thanks to this tip from you :)

Think I’ll wrap it around a small stick instead🤢😂

I have so many ants that are rearing and milking these little gremlins. I'm sure there must be a massive ant nest under the path....flying ants galore the other week! I've just been scraping them off with my bare fingers. But I'll see if this takes more off with less effort 👍

I bought some ladybugs. They hung out for 3 days but I think the birds ate them. I give. 😂

See far too many of them only when you look up so close at new growth on plants

Yucky…aphids are my worst gardening nightmare along with mold! I don’t know if I would have the stomach to do the tape trick. Possibly. 🫣
