Heck yeah. Maybe this one could help with aphids in the garden.

Those fuckers go after your peppers too? I see it when they flower. I use a neem oil spray, it degrades rapidly so it's food safe, and although it's a contact kill only, it'll get aphid eggs.

I haven't had any lately... it's been pincher bugs and deer sabotaging me. But a few months ago I had a lot of lettuce growing and aphids showed up for that. Yeah neem is pretty cool.
