"BotaniGard ES uses Beauveria bassiana, a beneficial fungus, to target and control a wide variety of soft-bodied insects in greenhouse, field and nursery crops such as Whiteflies, Thrips, Aphids, Psyllids, Mealybugs, scarab beetles and Weevils. This product also controls difficult pests such as Grasshoppers, mole & Mormon crickets, chinch bugs, Leafhoppers and stem-boring Lepidoptera."

If growing indoors get some NO PEST strips from your local hardware or nursery.

If your indoors you can slam some bio control in there, I use tip top out of California.

Edit, I think you’ll have to order the botanigard online. Stuff works, and is not death chemicals. Takes multiple applications. If it’s a huge grow, your basically screwed. But you can take on a small grow and win.

If your inside I’d go with aphidius wasps, or if your on a real budget do a combo of lady bugs and green lace wing larva. However the reality is it’s better to use bio control as prevention rather than as a solution. My experience with aphids is from ornamental nursery production. Generaly if I spot them I trash effected plants and move on. It’s usually an un winnable fight.

Oudoor garden.

Order botanigard, spray plants every 3-4 days for a bit. Spray the weeds near the garden edges as well. On off days spray relatively high pressure water on underside of leaves and stems to knock aphids off plants. Hope for the best. I know it sucks, I wouldn’t wish aphids on anyone.

Edit

Could also consider tenting each plant with row cover and using bio control

As for your spider mites, I have had great success with tip tops 3x predatory mite blend. Works like gangbusters. Hope this is helpful.
