Welcome to the Bunnings Workshop community @rawaa. It's sensational to have you join us, and many thanks for your question about garden pests.

It looks like you've got an aphid infestation, which is usually quite manageable with the right treatment—though it can be frustrating when nothing seems to work. If you’re happy to share which sprays you’ve already tried, that could help narrow things down and avoid repeating something that hasn’t worked.

 

In the meantime, you might want to try Yates Pyrethrum Insect Pest Killer, which is based on pyrethrin and works well on aphids. It’s a bit stronger than some of the gentler oil- or soap-based sprays, so it might give you the breakthrough you need. 

Please let me know if you have any questions.

Hi @rawaa,

 

Eco-oil does work for aphids, so I'm a bit surprised you're not having any luck with it. However, you do need to cover all the insects, so due to the large number, you might be killing some but not others. I'd shift to using the Yates Pyrethrum Insect Pest Killer, as it's more of a poison rather than an oil that needs to cover the insect.
