I'm talking about the kind that is purchased. I have heard that the commercial type is much more effective than household detergent, I'm not sure why. I always have this on hand. You need to get it quickly and spray on both sides of leaves. Try to get it locally so you can use it right away.
Aphids can transmit plant diseases too.
Be sure you get the concentrate so it will go a lot further for your money. Get a spray bottle and have a solution ready at all times. And check your plants all the time for aphids, since the females will lay more broods. Try to spray in the early am so as not to disturb the good pollinating insects. It's a school program.
