Pests on Annuals

Post by alirazaq »

Today i noticed very small green ant like insects on my annuals specially on antirrhinum and there was also some very little black ant like insects on the gazanias. When i looked closelly they were also moving. I have also seen some leaf curls on one or two plants. but all are planted in individual pots so I have seperated them. So please sugguest something :roll:

Possibly Aphids...........Use jet stream water to wash them away or soap water or any general purpose pesticide.

Use Imidacloprid.these are green & black Aphids which normally attack apex soft leaves in early spring.use the pesticide as soon soon possible before flowering.pesticides damage blooms so they should be used before flowering.
