Why Aphids Should Get the Boot from Your Yard
Aphids are tiny, soft-bodied insects that use a long, slender mouth to pierce stems, leaves, and fruits of plants to feed on their fluids. Aphids are particularly problematic because of their aggressive reproduction habits—each adult has up to 80 offspring! Even more annoyingly, they only take seven to eight days to completely mature, meaning aphids reproduce so quickly that they cycle through multiple generations each year.
When it comes to gardens, aphids are a serious issue. After a large population emerges, mass feeding can turn plants yellow and stunt shoots. These insects can inject toxins into plants and transmit viruses between them. Aphids also produce something called honeydew as they eat. As it accumulates on a plant surface, honeydew promotes the growth of a black fungus, known as sooty mold fungus, that is detrimental to plant health.
