    Hi Everyone,

    Hoping someone can help.

    I've got 2 large beech hedges which are being damaged by Wooly Beech Aphids. I can't seem to find a systemic insecticide anymore, the hedges are too big to clean manually
    and contact types of spray don’t work on woollies.

    Can anyone please give me some advice on how to get rid of these or a spray that I could use.


    Many Thanks,

    Steve
