Lupins and aphids

[mrsnjw]

Every year my lupins are eaten and destroyed by aphids. Am I best to spray? Has anyone bought ladybirds to eat them all 🧐

The Lupin aphid is a bastard.

I've given up as all three Lupins I've had have been absolutely devoured and I can't kill them fast enough.

😖

I thought this was another baby name thread when I glanced at the title.

Spray them with soapy water as an environmentally friendly method. You could also blast them with water, wipe them off with a tissue and plant ladybird attracting plants nearby.

@TaggySits 🤣🤣

Just mix water with some fairy liquid?

I'll wipe them over tomorrow 🧐

If the washing up liquid doesn't work, roseclear in the blue spray bottle does. All gone within 24hoyrs
