    Without an insecticide of some sort, even if a natural one , aphids will completely destroy your plants. There are many non-toxic pesticides that are organic, or that you can make from ingredients that are likely in your kitchen, but I'm afraid that without some sort of insecticide, you will have to start over next season, unfortunately.

    I would watch the small hills to see if you can identify it as ants.
    They would be visible moving in and out of the hole.

    Yes. Any more dilute and it is ineffective. Any less dilute, and you may run into burns on your foliage. Alternatively, there are ready made sprays that use garlic oil, but have several other ingredients as well. I use a product from FoxFarm called Force of Nature: Miticide. It contains garlic oil, as well as an entire list of organic plant derived chemicals.

    That will be how much that you add to the whole solution. Because it is not something that stores for very long, it is intended to be used up within a few days to a week. Storing in the fridge may get you another week out of it, but it doesn't store for very long.

    Are you sure about that, if so I might just as well use the solution as made because 2 1/2 cups is only about 1/2 pint into 2 pints of product!

    I can't identify what you have in these images.

    If you suspect a pest issue, make an inspection of the leaves and stems.
    Black vine weevils, mites, mealy bugs, ivy aphids and scale are all known to feed on English ivy.
    Neem Oil is a good treatment.
