Organic Aphid Control Techniques
If you want to control your aphids organically, there are a couple fairly easy techniques that you can use in your backyard and garden to get rid of and control aphid problems and infestations.
Insecticidal Spray (Safe)
This isn’t like toxic insecticide. It’s actually a soapy, oily mixture that can be purchased or even made that will stick to the plants. The concept behind a spray like this is that instead of using chemicals to kill the aphid or other small garden pests, it will actually coat the aphid in this oily soapy spray making it difficult for the aphid to move and breathe. This will kill the aphid naturally and it’s safe to use.
Water Hose Method
If you have an aphid problem in just one small part of the garden, try to just spray down the top and undersides of the leaves knocking them off. Do this at least once a day and monitor the situation to see if it’s getting better or worse.
Beneficial Garden Insects
There are beneficial garden insects like the lady bug who will seek out small garden pests like aphids and eat them. This will control the population and limit the damage.
Attract Birds
One easy way of controlling pests in the garden and yard is to attract birds to the yard. Get bird attracting devices like bird feeders, bird baths, and trees or bushes for birds to relax on and nest in. The more of these you have the more birds will be in the yard to eat the aphids and prevent many infestations from a variety of pests.
