Why dont you jus wash it down with soap water or organic animal fat.

Thanks. I've got some Ecover washing up liquid - shall I just mix up a hot water solution and sponge down the leaves of each plant?

Even cool water will do just fine. As long as you get a trace of soap on the leaves, that will stop the little sweeties.

When you are about to do the washing up, dunk the plant in the bowl of soapy water, that washes them off and is quicker than going over the leaves individually.

I just keep a spray bottle topped up with soapy water, take plants out side, spray liberally, let them drip dry, take back in...job done...

What ever you do dont let the soapy water get into thet soil. And yeah wash of as soon as possible. If syays for long it will harden and MAY damge your plant.
