Who has the best way of getting rid of this pest!

I asked the same question a couple of weeks ago, as they had settled in my lavender and mint. Apart from a brisk hose down no other tried and true remedies were suggested. I took to killing them by hand, which seemed to work.

They are quite clever to have developed that way of protecting themselves and I dont think i have seen them actually damage stuff! hosing them or hand picking them as mentioned great ways to eradicate

Just squirt a fair amount of dish liquid into a spray bottle- top up with water and spray onto the plants- complete coverage. I had serious investation in my strawberries this year and managed to kill 95% off with first application and just got the last few a day later. Havent had any return since :-)
