i have used alcohol to kill them without killing my plants ...but they dont go away.
How do i rid my plants of those white fuzzy bugs?
sounds like aphids. Use 'neem-oil' emulsified with 1/4 dishwashing liquid. this will eliminate not only aphids, but ALL of a plants' enemy pests.
Reply:Like with any plant if you have any brewed coffee ( no sugar or creamer added,just black,none favored) just pour a cup full ( about 4 oz ) once a week in to your plants this a natural insect repellant for plants.make sure it is totally cooled off. Good Luck!! Report Abuse
Reply:Mix one part Ivory liquid dish soap with 3 parts water and spray your plants.
Reply:Learn the difference between aphids and scales..
Scales need alcohol to kill them
Aphids in need 1 tbsp of dishsoap in a gal of water,
Aphids reproduce at the rate of 200 per born prego female, every 2 weeks
The best that you can hope for is some control, that means spraying every 10 days to 2 weeks
Reply:If you're talking about aphids, I would use insecticidal soap first. It doesn't have a strong smell, and can be used indoors. In fact, this treatment works for severl types of bugs. I just did spray my hibiscus (wintering over in my house) and don't have to worry about smelling malation or diazine, etc.
