HERB - bug repellent- aphids

[Lyn Greaves]

Thanks for the info.  To get the little buggers (little miss buggers?), all
I have to do is go to my daughter's room, actually.  For some reason, her
room is loaded with them (to the point that they were leaving little trails
in the paint last time we painted her room!).
