Before you reach for anything drastic, grab your garden hose. A strong blast of water from the nozzle will knock 90% of greenfly off your plants in seconds. It’s like a surprise rainstorm for the uninvited guests—they get washed away and rarely make the climb back up.
You might feel a bit mean, but trust me, the plants love it. Just aim at the underside of leaves, where the little suckers like to hide. Do this every other day for a week, and you’ll see the population drop dramatically. It’s cheap, safe for bees, and you get to feel like a garden superhero.
