For pesticides I have Green cleaner, NUKE EM, amazingdrzymes tomorrow I want to use nuke em at 8 oz for a 15 gallon mix... last time i used nuke em i used 16 gallons in a 2 gallon atomizer and I burned my plants so I def dont wanna do that again... anyone who has experience using NUKE EM PESTICIDE please lmk I like the product just dont wanna burn my plants by doing to much... also with nuke em pesticide & fungicide does anyone know if you need a wetting agent with it ?

Have you considered a leaflet campaign promoting aphid socialist uprising?

Borax/sugar and Spinosad

For the aphids I suggest yellow sticky boards to begin with. If you have a serious infestation, you can set a board up next to your plant, shake it, and they will swarm to the yellow sticky board, (sometimes) ants use ant killer.

Srsly permethrin. Knocks out root aphids but does not get taken up by the plant (root drench).

Try a physical barrier for the ants. Tanglefoot works well. If in pots put it around the rim, if youre growing in the ground wrap a piece of tape around the base of the plant and put it there.

To kill ants on my property (fire ant hills) I used a product called Amdro. It's good shit. The ants take in into their hill and feed it to the queen. It slowly kills her. It takes a minute but that is required to get past the defenses of the worker ants. Anything fast acting will kill workers and they will not feed it to the queen.

Simple solution I use is just a few bowls with 1:1 ratio of canola oil and soy sauce.

Anything attracted to the soy will go for a swim, and the oil prevents them from getting out, also clogs everything up for them and they drown/suffocate instantly.
The next morning there are hundreds of ants/earwigs/japanese beetles/etc. in the bowls.. and just dump them and redo it if needed.. I do this every couple of weeks for a few days at a time and theyve knocked down the ants colonies where I havent seen any for weeks while ive been looking for them.

Its been super cheap and effective.

I will second Tuned suggestion: Tanglefoot. https://www.tanglefoot.com/
It takes only a few minutes to apply.
Nontoxic.
Reversible

If out door its getting late to spray that nasty shit just hose them off aphids do not climb up on a plant they are born there from a flying adult.

I’m having some aphid Problems too on one plant this year.

this time I have used captain jacks dead bug, neem meal, insect frass, diatomaceous earth, released lady bugs, and lacewings. I also add crab and shrimp meal to further help deter pests.

I have/had a very minor infestation. But I’m ocd so I go with the kitchen sink method. Plus I’m not ok with spraying harsh stuff on my buds. I spray For caterpillars a couple times and tea a few times then nothing for the last month+.
