If you don't mind using it, a propriety insecticide will do the job.

May I remind you that "recipies" - homemade ones are a no go under EU legislation.
Did it really tell you to do THAT on the packet?

You can get organic stuff from Wilko's - just started using it so don't know how effective it is at the moment though

I find that the taller growth is safe so I tend to leave them to get on with it.

The broad beans' initial growth is also affected but later leaves are not

I've found that "Bug Clear" makes them hop!
