Should a plague of Aphis choose to attack your washing on the clothes line, have a yellow bucket handy smear it with Lanolin, hang it on the line and the Aphis will leave your washing alone and 'go' for the bucket.
Aphis are attracted to yellow! (thank goodness!)
They stick to the lanolin - later you can simply wash them off. |
If you've no yellow bucket and you want to rid them from your washing especially those white nappies! toss your washing in the tumble dryer for a little while - this gets rid off them too. |
No tumble dryer?
Place your washing in a huge heavy green garbage bag make it airtight - leave closed for several hours- Aphis will suffocate - shake clothes free of them.
