I live in Melbourne and these bugs keep eating my cucumber plants 🙁🙁
I have other plants in the garden but none of them have this problem. Could anyone tell me what to do? I’ve been using the Ecobug but haven’t any improvements. Please help 😭

Knock them off with your hand, or water.
The plant usually bounces back pretty fast.
You can spray stuff, and lots of people here will tell you tonas a first resort but I don’t like to and physical removal usually works if I’m persistent.
Looks like Aphids?
I was interested to learn that you can buy ladybug eggs and adults. They predate on aphids, and would be a natural way to sort this out. I understand they won’t hang around once they’ve run out of food though. Fair enough.
Spray neem oil
