I also have had trouble with them on the strawbs in pots.. but not on the ones in the plot, I just squish them anyway and give them a good squirt of water to knock them off., these were the "normal" green type ones.
I then found a good few on my Brussel sprouts last night so went round each plant and squished any I saw, the net was a bit low as they had grown a lot in the last few days (so leaves were touching net) these were pink/purple-grey ones, these ones I also keep finding (in small numbers) on a totem outdoor tomato plant and on my large eggplant too, any advice? I also found a few holes on the eggplant.. aphids cause this, no?
I read about a homemade spray with chillis/washing up liquid and water.. any good/non-harmful?
