But watch the soap spray, you don't want soap getting in the water, it "clogs" the gills and can kill your fish.

And any oils, for the same reason.

What about garlic spray? Cannot use chilli spray as family memebers are allergic!

You can buy ladybirds online, safe, natural and easy.

I let a big parsley plant go to seed and it attracted so many ladybirds it cleaned up all my aphid problem. Its great to find baby lady birds on the corn plants etc
