This works well
BUT
 Aphids usally appear earyl in the season when it is too cold for the
predator lady birds
and late in the season when it is too cold for the predator lady birds
lady Birds have a homeing pigeon insticnt.
so if you kill ALL your aphids  you will not have lady birds breeding in
your garden and saving you money on sprays.
