No matter how many times I treat my eggplant for aphids with neem and manually remove them they return full force immediately. Any tips to get them to stay away for good?

    If it is outside I would recommend finding out where you can buy ladybugs near by. They should take care of the aphids. I’m not sure if they will take care of it forever but it should work for at least this year if not for a few years depending on where you live.

    I would recommend that you try to shower off the aphids with a jet of water (carefully of course so you don’t harm the plant) spray it with soapy water and then add some beneficial insects to the plant. The Chrysoperla carnea is very effective!
