17. Control aphids with cold water
Struggling with controlling aphids? You don’t have to turn to purchasing expensive chemicals to combat aphids right away. Cold water will go a long way. Put cold water in a watering can and pour it over the plant that has aphids on it. The cold water doesn’t harm the plant, but it will wash away the aphids.
18. Use a banana peel against aphids
Aphids don’t like the smell of banana. So don’t throw away your banana peel the next time you eat one. Cut the peel up into pieces and then place the peel next to the plant that has aphids on it. Chances are they will be gone a few days later.
