A strong stream of water can knock aphids right off your plants. That’s right, just give your plant a good wash.
Keep the plant area tidy by promptly removing dead or decaying leaves. If a section of your plant is heavily infested, sometimes the best option is to cut it away entirely.
Dabbing aphids directly with a cotton swab soaked in rubbing alcohol will kill them on contact. Though time-consuming, this method is effective for targeting clusters of pests.
These sticky traps are the best. Hanging sticky traps near your plants can help catch aphids before they become a problem.
Applying neem oil to the soil acts as a natural insecticide, targeting aphids without harming your plant.
