I use it all the time around the house. I have a big bag of food grade DE. I tried it when I first noticed the aphids but it got wet with dew and lost its efficacy. Should I just dust it over the leaves and soil? Would that be a better choice over insecticidal soap, pyrethrin, and neem?
Are aphids a death sentence for a garden or just a minor annoyance? I scoured the internet for an answer and every article says different things. Mainly they'll kill a seedling and possibly transfer disease. If I can limit them to how they are now without them becoming an infestation I think I'd be happy.
