Thank you for sharing that you are having problems with aphids too. I thought I was all alone. I have been battling them all winter in one building. I got everything cleared out, sprayed everything and washed all the plastic down around the baseboards. Then, last week I had an aphid infestation on some over wintered radishes in another building. I know there were none 5 days prior as I pulled 15 to 20 bunches and washed them in the house, no aphids. I sprayed to kill them, then pulled everything, bagged it and disposed of off site. Now I hope I broke the cycle some. I know I have aphids on some indoor carrots, but I have a bunch of ladybugs coming on Monday. I hope they can clear them up. I sprayed down the bed with some water, that knocked a lot of them off, that helped.
I have been checking seedlings as I transplant and checking the tomatoes that I have planted, almost daily, to see if I have the start of aphids on them. None, yet!

I found it at Lowes, it's called Garden Safe Neem oil extract.

Carla,
what brand neem oil are you using? On a related note, you might need to switch to another mode of action control if you've used neem for 2-3 weeks.

Texas where our ranunculus crop is nearly unmarketable due to aphids, neato

> We've also been battling aphids. They are on the field planted crops, and in the greenhouse. I started spraying insecticidal soap a month ago, and I haven't gotten the upper hand yet. Last week I switched to Neem oil which seems to be working MUCH better. I'm still seeing aphids everywhere, but at least in the greenhouse I'm knocking them back some. I'm not sure my pepper plants will recover though.
