I have little bugs on my Wisteria vine they are killing the blossoms! What to do?
Question:They are literally miniscule bugs. They are shiny black and appear to lay eggs on the blossoms they are on. Is this a common problem? Also how do I get rid of them without killing my Wisteria vine?
Answers:
Mix water and liquid soap. Spray this on the plants. The insects will continue to feed there for a short while, however this will eliminate them soon. It leterally gives them the runs. Truth. They will be gone before you know it.
Yes this is common. I think you have an infestation of aphids on the honeysuckle this year. Sometimes you have luck spraying the plants with a strong stream of water from the hose to wash the insects off. Soapy water also works well. They will not kill the plant. Sometimes ants will put aphids on honeysuckle to collect the nectar. You could try some of the ant traps if you see that happening.
Spray it with soapy water. (preferbly Palmolive) It will get rid of the bugs and the larve.
