| I had finally gotten rid of all pests on my plants from a previous infestation, now the new plant my girlfriend bought me has aphids on it and obviously with the blizzard conditions, outdoors is off limits. I'm currently treating all of my plants with soapy water. I have a cat and would like to treat with something a little stronger yet still safe with an animal. The rinse and a little inspection time got most of them off the plant, but i know more will hatch soon and i don't want them spreading thats what happened last time and it took close to two monthes to get rid of all the bugs. Any suggestions for (animal safe) pesticides would be appreciated.
Thanks Tim |

| Hi Tim 1)tooth brush. 2) spreader sticker it's self.3) oil spray/ Highly purlyfied mineral oil. 4)Carbamate pesticide.such as sevin.when use spreder/sticker (try to use negative charge spreader sticker.) If you spray pepper or ropel, Cat never touch plants again. Don't blame your girl friend. it is bad karma ^^ Aphids have right to live too ^^......................yama |
