I apply Grub ex in the autumn and early spring and summer…lessens the population but still around.
Worst aphid infestation was in our greenhouse, we ordered some Lady Bugs let them loose and have not had an aphid problem in years…lots of lady bugs though…they tend to hang around…they even re-energized the outdoor population.
