All the greenfly are in my garden, on my roses, sweetpea's and lettce. I have seen loads of ladybirds at work in the hants area. Oh and i have had no end of trouble with slugs since we had rain, they have even found a way round the copper tape!

Broad bean pods have a nice overcoat of blackfly, and 'soft' bedding like nicotiana has greenfly.
There are a few woolly aphid appearing on my apple trees, but I treat at first sight with the soapy spray SB Plant Invigorator. I'm also using this as a regular preventive spray on greenhouse cucumbers to avoid red spider mite and whitefly taking hold, and it appears to be working.
I've used a purchased pesticide but they quite like it cos they seem to be multplying.....HELP!
