Mine are all riddled with the little buggers Angry Can anyone recommend something to get rid of them? I asked my mum horticultural consultant and she says there is an organic spray but she can't remember what it's called- does anyone know the one she means? TIA.

They are impossible to get rid of. You could try Provado but in my experience it is only partially successful. I think you can get bio controls for greenhouse situations but they wouldn't work in a house. The only effective solution in my experience is burn/bin all plants, wait a while (they get into soft furnishings and will infect new plants from there) then start again.
