Use the hose to spray vines off in the early mornings. It helps get rid of pests without having to use chemicals.

My snail vine and morning glories seem to be magnets for aphids and spider mites. I found that spraying the plants consistently, every morning, eliminated the pests. I live in Arizona where it's dry, so climate-wise, this is a proven pest eliminator for me.
