Rosy Apple aphid- has anybody managed to get rid of this organically?

[Dr0pkick]

Every year! 😡Don’t want to use neem oil because I don’t want kill ladybird and bees. Dh currently out there blasting with the hose. Going to try Ecover washing up liquid spray tomorrow.

Any other tips? Only got 2 apple trees and determined to get on top of it. Healthy trees aside from this .

If you just leave them be, then their predators will fine them. If you keep killing them, you will have to keep killing them. I haven't worried about aphids for years, I just leave them be.

This hasn’t worked.If I leave them, my trees will get v sick Leaves are curling, ants are farming them on one and infestation is high. We don’t use any pesticides and have plenty of bugs. Their predators are not dealing with the issue.
