Ants killing aphids and whitefly?!
Comments (10)and made a mental note to go find the insecticidal soap. I couldn't find it, and when I checked again, the aphids had repopulated. ===>>> that was either a really long search.. or some kind of super aphids ... lol ... i usually find aphids in the yard ... by first noticing the ants.. as you said.. its a symbiotic relationship wherein the ants 'milk' the aphids for honeydew .... i dont recall hearing they kill them .. but i wouldnt be surprised if there arent commando ants .... whitefly.. in the house.. i associate with soggy soil .. check out the link ... the problem is killing a number of generations .. and not allowing them to lay eggs in the swamp in between .... its really hard ... one must either rely on systemic chems ... [in the house????] ... or even better.. sterilize some new media.. and repot them ... and leave them out in the garage .. ONLY bringing them in.. if severe cold is forecast ... two ways to get rid of the eggs in the swamp ... you really are not contemplating 'coping' with ants.. IN THE HOUSE ... are you??? ===>>> get the pots out of the house .... ken Here is a link that might be useful: link...See Morewhiteflies around and in my composting bin.Need help please ..
Comments (5)thanks for your help.As for the plant that was there before ( vine) I removed it it was totally infected so that is gone.I am going to vacum today ( no rain) Yes I read about yellow so I'm planning to put some vaselie on it ( I have plenty of it) Just hope that the rain won't damage it too soon.I have always had white flies and they are so annoying, but I have never had so many of them.The plant was a problem I know.But the bin? Maybe because the vine was just next to it? I do hope to get rid of them soon.Thanks so much again.Scarleta...See MoreConfused about grape vine spraying
Comments (4)If you are in zone 9, it probably gets pretty hot where you are. As long as it's dry, windy heat, you shouldn't have a mildew problem, but if it's humid, yes. Mildew. Powdery Mildew happens in humidity. If it's Powdery Mildew, use Immunox Liquid followed up every 10 days or so by Neem Oil. Myclobutanil from Home Depot in the form of Immunox, labeled for lawn fungus.When you spray with Neem, do it late in the day because the hot sun and oil don't mix well. Sunburn could occur. Not sure about white flies. Nothing much likes soap....See MoreMy order from Fransens arrived today
Comments (13)first ... nice to see someone pot up .. and protect ... leafed out deliveries from out of zone ... kudos ... why do you have to wait to spray .... whats wind have to do with it ... take you sprayer to pavement.. fill with water ... and find out how LITTLE pressure you need to create DROPS .. as compared to mist ... also use the adjuster at the tip ... get this.. drops have mass.. and gravity dictates ... i am pretty sure.. even where you are... that they fall to the ground.. rather than blown around the yard ... of course i am not talking gale force winds .... but if i waited for ONLY windless days... i would never get anything sprayed ... ken ps: if i recall... when i fill my sprayer.. to a certain level ... 25 pumps ... gets me where i want to be... and if the tip is properly adjusted.. the handle sorta vibrates .. in other words.. i can tell by feel when i have the right droplets ......See Moreken_adrian Adrian MI cold Z5
