Haha this perfectly sums up my pepper plant neem oil aphid fight, I was convinced they drank neem oil as their coffee every morning. 🙄 I’d try diatomaceous earth and see if that helps. If this is a non edible plant you can use some hardier pesticide sprays.

I actually just bought some diatomaceous earth with the little puffer spout to put on these leaves. It’s INSANE! They’re not touching any other plant

#### Alyssa svarede den 2024-07-05

Is it still not working or have you not tried it yet?

#### Moriah svarede den 2024-07-05

The neem oil isn’t working. Haven’t tried anything else yet

I’m guess ing you’ve probably already tied this but I’m mentioning it just in case you haven’t). Try spraying the plant with a strong jet of water to knock those creeps off. Repeat daily until they stop coming back. I generally stop seeing them within a week.

If that does t work, treat with insecticidal soap (make sure it can be used on edibles). Also check for ants. They farm aphids for the honeydew, a sweet secretion (poop) that ants just love 🤢🤢🤢. Deal with any nests you find so the infestation doesn’t keep coming back.

Here’s hoping you don’t have some type of bionic mutant aphid 🤞

That would be WILD if I did hahaha but I have tried that! Unfortunately for me tho I don’t have a hose hook up in the back so I have been using an aggressive spray bottle and plan to keep trying 🥹
