About this deal

An outbreak of greenflies - also known as aphids - can be destructive to several plants in your garden, eating away at the leaves and sapping plants of their strength. By early summer, the foliage has grown older and tougher, this combined with increasing temperatures and day-length induces winged forms of the aphid that migrate to the summer host plant. Simply Green Bugs Away Spray 500ml is a 100% natural synergistic blend of Lemongrass, Lavender, Thyme and Eucalyptus. Through this spray, you can easily get rid of these insects and protect your plants for a long period. So bear in mind that removing aphids will likely kill beneficial insects such as ladybirds and lacewings, as well as aphids.

We asked their Technical Manager, Michael Marriott, to share his top tips on how to get rid of greenfly in our gardens. The 250ml concentrate bottle makes up to 25L of spray solution, making it a great value for larger gardens. Once you have sprayed this product over your plants or any other edible item, its effectiveness will last for four weeks or more. It appears to work, but I'm a bit worried about it killing other friendly insects, such as those that prey on greenfly.An additional problem caused by greenfly and blackfly is the sticky substance they exude, known as honeydew, which can become infested with black mould – this stops leaves photosynthesising and inhibits plant growth. Caution– do not spray young plants (those with less than 6 leaves) and never spray under hot, bright conditions – or some scorch may occur.

Special Offer – Reuse the RTU Bottle using the concentrated bottle – refill it 6 times with a 500ml concentrate. Using the measuring cup provided, add the appropriate quantity of product into clean water in the sprayer. This sooty fungus covers leaves in a black film which blocks sunlight, therefore retarding growth, and presents another problem to deal with.Bit early for ladybirds here but they are the best creature for aphid removal, and once they arrive you need a few aphids to feed them and keep them around. I left mine only six days because I was impatient though my next lot brewing now will infuse for two weeks. While I’ve battled garden bugs in the past (usually cabbage moths or potato beetles) ants and aphids were a new enemy. The life cycles of each aphid species differ in general for much of the year, aphid colonies consist of wingless females that give birth to live young.
