Controlling environmental stress, following proper cultivation procedures, respecting natural enemies, and using insecticides are ways to eliminate aphids.

Specifically, the insects in question (Aphidoidea superfamily) appear in response to environmental stress. Plants become less stressed when soil is aerated, fertile, moist, and well-drained. A soil analysis conducted every 3 years detects the absence or presence of the 16 - 17 necessary soil nutrients and details the proper corrections.

Natural enemies include lacewings, ladybugs, and praying mantids. The three above-mentioned examples of beneficial insects may be more likely to flourish in certain environments. For example, native plants such as cardinal flower, coneflower, and Joe Pye weed will attract birds and butterflies as well.

Insecticides can be either non-organic or organic. But such effective non-organic insecticides as malathion and permethrin have environmentally unfriendly after- and side-effects. The use of canola or neem horticultural oils and insecticidal soap may require more frequent application schedules. But they will not impact nature or people negatively.

Does planting chives in the garden help get rid of aphids?

Yes, planting chives in the garden helps get rid of aphids.Specifically, aphids disdain strongly aromatic plants. Alliums such as chives, garlic, leeks, onions and shallots fit the bill. They will be repugnant to such unlikeable pests as aphids, carrot flies, fruit tree borers, and weevils. They will limit the growth of the gardener's beans and peas - which therefore should not be planted companionably nearby - but protect roses from ants.
