Thank you! I didn’t know about the vinegar thing, but it totally makes sense – most animals really seem to hate the smell of it!

My syngonium had aphids so I washed the plant and sprayed with a neem oil solution. I used cotton buds dipped in vinegar to pick them off. I read that they hate vinegar. Did this for a week. Sprayed the entire plant with my neem oil solution (neem oil, dish soap and a pinch of baking soda). They have disappeared but I do a sailing inspection and use my neem oil solution as a preventative measure.

Hope this helps 🙂
