Help! I have aphids on my strawberry seedlings! I think they are too small and frail for either a blast of water or soap mix?
Any suggestions? I really really don't want to lose these baby strawberry plants.
Thank you!

Help! Aphids!
I used insecticidal soap (1:2 with water) and hydrogene peroxide (1:10 with water) on some tender emerging seedlings this year cuz EEEK! I had fungus gnats in a couple of trays for the first time. Fungas gnats gone; seedlings happy and healthy. I put the mister on the finest spray setting and they flopped but the stems didn't break and they perked up in a couple of days. Bottom line if you do nothing you will probably lose them. I was worried but I thought of it like CPR. CLEAR!!! Mist, Mist, Mist. Hope this helps.
Hi Dahlianut,
Did you spray twice? with the two different potions or only once?
Thanks!
Deb
you are too funny DN
I did them as separate applications tamberlin
Just squish them.
