What are those little green bugs on your plants? They\u2019re probably aphids! Here are our best tips on how to identify and control aphids in the garden.<\/p>\n
WHAT ARE APHIDS?<\/strong><\/p>\n Aphids seem to find their way into every garden. They are small, soft-bodied insects that can survive in almost any zone. Aphids multiply quickly, so it\u2019s important to get them under control before reproduction starts. Many generations can occur in one season. The good news is that they tend to move rather slowly and aphid control is relatively easy.<\/p>\n While aphids in general feed on a wide variety of plants, different species of aphids can be specific to certain plants. For example, some species include bean aphids, cabbage aphids, potato aphids, green peach aphids, melon aphids, and woolly apple aphids<\/p>\n HOW TO PREVENT APHIDS<\/strong><\/p>\n For fruit or shade trees, spray dormant horticultural oil to kill overwintering aphid eggs.

Beneficial insects, such as lady beetles, lacewings, and parasitic wasps, will feed on aphids. Supplemental populations of these insects can be ordered online and should help keep the aphid populations controlled from the start.
