Insect spray/dust? Aphids?

[Duh_Vinci]

Good morning all!

I was watering my pepper transplants this morning, all doing great, ready for this weekend to be planted into the ground, but I found few varieties have Aphids (those tiny green little things)

Can you recommend an effective and environmentally safe spray or dust to get rid of those things fast? Something I can purchase at the local Lowe's/Home depot?

Regards,
D

if the plants are small, and there aren't many of them, I'd just smoosh 'em by hand.

I've found it effective just to wash them off with the garden hose.

Could you post a picture? The plant may just have edema, which isn't a big deal. Here is a link: https://www.umass.edu/umext/floriculture/fact_sheets/greenhouse_management/edema.htm

(roger, you want to fix this -- I would use HTML but the forum doesn't accept it, the link is breaking the layout.)

Brian, use BB Code to make the hot link instead of html.

You can google BB Code to get a list of the tags.

About the aphids, I would wash them off with water.

Thank you all for your replies! Appreciated indeed! Washed them off with room temperature water, all little buggers are gone!

Thanks again to all!
