Insecticide soap, like Safer's, or diluted dish soap is very effective on =
aphids. However, as aphids can hatch already "pregnant", you will need to =
apply the soap at least three times -- once for the adults, once for the =
eggs that hatch, and once for the second batch of eggs. Apply the soap =
about once a week.
Insecticidal soap is the safest and least destructive pesticide available.

Hi!
I am new to this list server but have a dear friend with an Iris farm.
She'd like to know if anyone has had experience with aphids on the Iris
stocks. There are a lot of weeds around.
We appreciate any help you can give.
