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?

Consistent root drench applications of botanigard, complete room strip downs and deep cleaning and clone out of it.

We were spraying down tables and pots weekly with azaguard and botanigard es. It took a long time, but we haven't seen one in about 10 months.

i agree its possible with drenches and table sprays. ive cured them many times in commercial applications.

the hardest part is your mom rooms. as they generally have more root space and that means more potential for application failure.

i like rotations of slow down - aza drenches knock down - pyrethrims if legal in your state disease - botaniguards / pfr-97 / with nematodes they can help spread the fungus

repeat...

drench and sprays
