InstructionsDifficulty: Challenging

Step1Bathe your tomato plants in soapy water. The soapy water alone may end the infestation. Use a gentle, natural soap with a high fat content. Add oil to the water and soap if the first mixture doesn't work. Olive oil or canola oil makes the soap stick better and makes it difficult for the aphid to breathe.

Step2Employ beneficial insects. Your helpmates may include praying mantises, lady bugs, and lacewings. If you don't have them in your area, it's possible to buy these insects and have them shipped to you.

Step3Spray all sides of the tomato plant with a garden hose. If you have the pressure up high on your hose, the aphids will fall to the ground and probably die before they can climb back up.

Step4Invite birds to your garden. Birds prey on aphids, and you can draw them into your garden with a birdbath placed strategically near your plants.

Step5Trim your fertilizer use. Even though your plants love the fertilizer, the aphids love it, too.

Step6Add a few drops of neem oil to water (follow the instructions on the bottle) for a mixture that repels aphids.

Answer 4

I use 4 tablespoons of liquid soap 2 tablespoons of crushed red pepper mixed with 1 gallon of water. Spray in the mornings ofter you have watered and the water has dried off of the plants. Be wary of sevens dust, just a little will kill out an entire colony of honeybees, and we need all that we can get for pollination. Also if you have any hummingbirds around do not use preying mantis'. They will kill any that they can get to. They will snatch them out of the air and kill them with the hook on their leg and eat them.

Sevin is a fairly safe chemical that can be used right up until harvest and only needs to be washed off with water before eating. you could also try a spray solution of mild detergent and water.
