So last fall is when I first got on this web page, asking about my bug problem in my new green house...actually it is more like a souped up hoop house! After the battles, I think I had 2 problems that I never really did take care of, one is the spider mites that attacked my pole beans and cukes, the other was the aphids that attacked my corn. I first sprayed both sides of all leaves with soapy water, after that did not work I got some neem oil and sprayed both sides with that solution. I worked really hard on the corn, making sure everywhere was sprayed with the neem oil solution. I finally just pulled the infected plants, which was all of them. Keep in mind this was over about a 6-8 week period, as you always want to give each application enough time. But the aphids just got worse. So my question is.....will they winter kill? We haven't had the severe cold yet (below 0 for days at a time), but we usually get some kind of cold snap when the temp gets down to -20. After reading about neem oil, it is also used as a preventative, so I plan on watering every 3 weeks ago with the neem oil solution. Anything else I should do or be doing. thanks
