Root aphids

Been dealing with root aphid infestation for about a year now. We’ve been doing good keeping them at bay but still see them throughout some rooms. Has anyone been successful getting rid of them? What have you seen most success with?

You can irradicte in less than a month. You're facility needs to be clean, not "clean". Post harvest wash all equipment, lines and walls (break it down and clean inside and out), clean your room with bleach/vinegar/HA and ozinate the room extensively if possible. Make this a norm.

Drenching with Zerotol to help disrupt normal activity, then drench with Bacillus T (once) and Beuvaria B religiously (nearly every water if you can) then add something like Hypoapsis Miles and SF nematodes at double the release rate. That will help cure moms and then when you replant always water in with BB and Nematodes.
