Bug help

the problem is im starting to get bugs [flys, spiders,spider mites,aphids,ants] on my fem's cuz theyre kinda near some ivy and other weeds. i dont want to spray them with any pesticides, not even vegetable safe. so what should i do? i was thinking moving all the plants then sprayin the surrounding area with some sort of pesticide. but i need suggestions.

Vegetable oil is a good remedy for spider mites and aphids. Mix 2 table spoons of veg oil in a gallon of water and spray the plant. Remember to keep shaking the solution. Follow up with a soap solution about 7 days later (using 2 tsp/gallon of Joy or Dawn)... not only does a number on the pests, it helps clean off the oil treatment. I always leave spiders and ants alone. They will prey on certain insects (like caterpillars) that may harm the plants.

thanks man. big help i appriciate it.

Yes it should help with micro pests.

Yes, simply spray the soap solution on the plants as well.

Don't forget to also spray the underside of the leaves.

You're most welcome.

if the bugs return when my plants are flowering could i do the the same thing?

or would i have to do something different so i didnt alter or harm the buds.

Not sure about that one. I'd probably just treat the leaves and avoid getting anything on the buds.
