If I still had my garden I would place Vaseline covered cups everywhere to see how well it works. Make sure and put them out early before aphids infest the plants. I believe this photo is from a mock orange. Aphids would always end up on the mock orange every year.

No, but I will try, also! Then again, all you early-climate gardeners will get to report your results before I will need it

New one for me too but worth the sacrifice of a yellow cup, a stake and some vaseline.
