Aphids

Aphids are tiny, pear-shaped insects that are a common pest in gardens. They come in a variety of colors, including green, black, brown, and even pink. Aphids feed on plant sap, using their piercing-sucking mouthparts to extract nutrients. This feeding can weaken plants, stunt growth, and cause leaves to curl, yellow, or become distorted. Heavy infestations can lead to significant crop loss. Aphids also produce a sticky substance called honeydew, which attracts ants and can lead to the growth of sooty mold.

Aphids thrive on tender new growth and are particularly attracted to stressed plants. To effectively control aphids, we target these areas, using a combination of natural and chemical controls to minimize their impact on your garden.

How to prevent Aphids

Aphids are tiny, soft-bodied insects that suck the sap out of plants. They can quickly reproduce and form large colonies, damaging your plants and leaving behind sticky honeydew. Here are some tips to keep aphids under control:

  • Natural predators: Aphids have many natural enemies, including ladybugs, lacewings, and minute pirate bugs. Encourage these beneficial insects to your garden by planting flowers that attract them, such as dill, fennel, and yarrow.

  • Water blast: A strong stream of water can knock aphids off your plants. This is a quick and easy way to remove small infestations.

  • Insecticidal soap or oil spray: These sprays can kill aphids on contact without harming most beneficial insects. Be sure to follow the instructions on the label carefully.

  • Neem oil spray: Neem oil is a natural pesticide that can be effective against aphids. It works by disrupting their hormones and preventing them from feeding and reproducing.

  • Encourage healthy plants: Strong, healthy plants are less susceptible to aphid infestations. Make sure your plants are getting the right amount of water and nutrients.

  • Remove weeds: Weeds can attract aphids and other pests. Keep your garden weed-free to help deter aphids.
