I've noticed these in clumps recently. The plants are still going strong, and the beans are okay, and they keep coming but what can I do if anything to get rid of the flies?

Organic remedies please! I thought they were aphids but the ladybird I tried feeding them to flew away  :?

Thanks Munty    

That's a job for tomorrow. Sap suckers - killing my beans off softly - they're dead  :twisted:

No DD, I bought these from Wilkinsons.

You've not sent me anything yet DD - you must have confused me with another    :oops:

Sorry!! Who have I confused you with? - Time for a search methinks!

Don't know what made me think it was you jacnal, I've found out who it was. That person has not been seen on the forum since just after I sent them.

I think they were runner bean seed.

Hi Jacnal - I squirted mine with soapy water, then next day I cleaned them off with a rag, but only because they looked untidy.

[DD.]

Don't be a wuss. Just squash them with your fingers!!

[jacnal]

I made a very weak soapy solution and sprayed yesterday, but to get them off, I found myself squashing them as I rinsed anyway. I felt I had to rinse the soapiness off  :oops:

They look just horrible, had to remove them. I'll go back, work on what's left of them today.

 :evil:  :evil:  Now that really bugs me ... you send something free of charge ... even the postage ... and often don't even get a "Thanks it arrived".   Happily it hasn't happened to me on this forum; I think everyone has been great.
