Tools and Hardware Reviews of Safer Brand 5118 Insect Killing Soap - 16-Ounce ConcentrateCustomer Review: Does not control aphids well Summary: 2 Stars
I have some indoor basil, dill and thyme that was recently afflicted with a nasty aphid AND whitefly infestation after I had unwittingly brought home some contaminated herbs.
I read about all the fantastic things about this Safer Brand soap and figured I'd give it a shot before trashing my poor plants.
I've followed the instructions diligently. The aphids do go away a couple days after spraying. Unfortunately however, the bugs keep coming back every week. There are no other plants in the house that could be housing the bugs and promoting their return, and my herbs are all small plants.
If this product can't get rid of the bugs off of one little isolated, indoor plant, then I don't know what good it's for. I had just as much success when I was picking off the aphids by hand.
At least it's not toxic, and I guess it's faster than hand-picking.
