TommyTopTraps Posted July 17, 2012 Report Share Posted July 17, 2012 Hi all, I have a planter of VFTs of different types and it has become overrun with aphids which seem to be having a bad effect on my smaller plants. As the planter is too large for me to submerge, I was wondering what form of aphicide or insecticide is best to use to get rid of the blighters? Thanks people, Tom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TommyTopTraps Posted July 18, 2012 Author Report Share Posted July 18, 2012 Great cheers guys! And should I use it in the manner described on the tin or would I need to dilute it or anything? CPUK never fails to deliver quick, concise and knowledgeable answers to my long, waffley ignorant questions! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoLongFairWell Posted July 19, 2012 Report Share Posted July 19, 2012 Use it as it says. Make sure you spray at the recommended distance from the plant as you can burn the plants if it's too close. It's usually something like 12" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
