Check Spring Buds for Aphids Now – Getting Rid of Them As Soon As Possible Will Save Your Plants

Rich dark purple lupins, orange geums and peonies in a lush, wild-look garden scheme.

There's nothing more exciting than heading out in the garden in early spring and seeing fresh growth, signalling your plants are waking from dormancy. But, simply trusting they'll grow happy and strong isn't enough for a successful season. Without careful monitoring, they could get destroyed by aphids.

If you've already dealt with getting rid of aphids before, you know how destructive they can be. In early spring, new aphids hatch and look for soft, fresh growth to devour. Spotting them and removing them as soon as possible is key to not only protecting tender and young plants, but also stopping the aphid population in your yard expanding beyond control.
