Instead of just showing you the photo of the new sprayer I ordered, I fiddle with it a little. Can you guess what I am spraying by looking at the photo?
Can you guess what I am using to spray the bugs?

Down!
I put dawn dish detergent and water, and would have put red pepper sauce in it, but had none.
I found white stuff on the one surviving orange hibiscus and found White Aphids, everywhere, and they were on my newly planted Cassava Trees and the powder puff.
When Bob saw the gallon jug sprayer he said why didn't you get a BIG one?
The answer is, I wanted one I can use All by Myself.
I can carry it and pump it and NO HELP NEEDED.
It is working, except the rain keeps washing it off
But I have stopped their Advance for now.
the white stuff is gone from the leaves.

Well, does the soap actually kill them, or just scare them away?
Well done. bugs are a pest in the tropics.
Dawn seems to be a cleaning miracle and now a bug deterrent. Great job!
I love the picture and I'm glad it's helping.

Excellent work that woman! YAM xx
Dawn dish soap is good for so many things. Glad it's working to keep the bugs down. That sprayer looks like the perfect size.
I used soapy water to spray on the aphids. They are all nice and clean now.
Apparently ladybirds eat aphids. We have a few of those in our garden. Probably not very hungry. They prefer pizza it seems. Modern society!
God bless.
Hello,
There are so many uses for Dawn. I am glad you can control those insects with your new sprayer. Take care, enjoy your day!
I do the same thing with two of the bushes we have. I only have a big thing that Louis Dean mixed up soapy water in and it still had some insecticide as well. I also squirted the bush (it is taller than I) with dish soap and then watered it down. I need to go out and do that today.
I am up early....but I went to bed early. Here lately, when I wake up I can't go back to sleep. Reckon I'll ever be a morning person? Nah, probably not!
I agree with your size choice. We all know someone in your house works on their own time schedule...aka not exactly when it is needed

It does the job and looks cute, too! I'm m so glad you clued me onto the wonders of Dawn a few years ago. Never going back!
That bug is giving you the RED eye. I love reading about the rain.
High five!!!
I'm glad it is working. So some dawn and water???
HOPE YOU CAN GET RID OF THOSE NASTY BUGS.
