If I do not wish to sacrifice parts of plants, I wipe the aphids off with a damp cloth.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01083409767851425580noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-814592055187462200.post-46481069590203741272010-08-23T18:27:24.651-07:002010-08-23T18:27:24.651-07:00There are few types of ants, some are good but mos...There are few types of ants, some are good but most are bad.<br />They bring in alphids and farm them on plants.<br /><br />Often I use organic pesticide made from basic kitchen material as they will not be toxic but the result is only effective for a day.<br />They come back again & again.<br /><br />So much so, I use a commercial pesticide - I had used it only once, months ago and all the pest are gone without a trace.James Davidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01423981835876393119noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-814592055187462200.post-42658953051743072112010-08-19T08:58:05.124-07:002010-08-19T08:58:05.124-07:00Hi there! thanks for kind remarks.

You have an interesting blog and you are certainly an avid gardener.<br /><br />Didn't know those were red ants. No wonder the second wave of ants did not make their appearance earlier. Btw I hardly use pesticide and fungicide in my garden.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01083409767851425580noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-814592055187462200.post-5660234320176838432010-08-15T21:40:28.164-07:002010-08-15T21:40:28.164-07:00Hey!

That is really a war drama you have captured here.<br />I would certainly sprayed and killed the whole army - don't think I can handle red ants - they are fierce!<br /><br />Thanks for dropping by my garden.
