HA EVERYONE HOWS IT. WELL IT APPEARS THAT I HAVE A BUG PROBLEM ON MY HANDS TODAY, IT LOOKS LIKE I HAVE SOME SORT OF APHIDS BUT AM UNSURE. THE BUGS ARE A TRANSLUCENT TO PAIL GREEN/YELLOW COLOR AND ARE VERY SMALL ABOUT 1/8 LONG. THEY CAN FLY AND WALK, THEY ARE ON BOTH SIDES OF THE LEAVES AND ARE MAKING WHITE SPOTS EVERYWHERE THEY GO. MY CAMERA IS DOWN RIGHT NOW SO NO PICS, I HAVE SOME SPRAY THAT SAYS IT WILL KILL THEM BUT HAVE NEVER HAD TO USE IT BEFORE SO NOT SURE IF IT SAFE. THE PRODUCTS CALL TROUNCE MADE BY SAFERS AND IT SAYS IT KILL APHIDS/WHITEFLYS/AND MITES.

ANY HELP GREAT APPRECIATED THANKSshr ugsmiley.gif

PEACE

How old are the plants and are they outside or inside? If they are aphids do you have ants too? I don't know that aphids fly. If they fly they might not be aphids. Also try some safer sticky traps, they are yellow and you can get little sticks that hold them in the soil or bigger ones, any flying critter sticks to them so you need less whatever to kill them.

Is trounce good for food crops? and does it degrade so you can eat the crop? Be very careful. I will check back. How many do you have? Are you sure they are not whitefly?




Peace

Look on the underside of the leaves for tiny white dots. That's white fly eggs, nasty to get rid of...

Chunk, check this out on wikipedia and see if this is what you are seeing.

Ha jangel thanks, my lights are off now but i think your right.

Zigzagman there appears to be white dotting on the leaves that is visible from the top of the leaves but the bugs are on the top and bottom and flying around, have not seen eggs yet.

Is trounce by safers good to get them and is it safe for my plants.
I would like to fix this before they start to flower to much.[1 week into flowering now]

peace

I'd use Bonide " Orchard Spray" The Sulphur will inhibit the mold from growing and it has a organic pesticide to control the flys and eggs. You can get it at H.D. or Lowes garden centers.

I would do what zig suggests. i have never had this plague so he knows more than little old me.

Good luck hon. I do know that the yellow sticky traps work well as well as the spray. Also, if you see badly infected leaves with loads of eggs, better to remove them and let the plant grow a new leaf than to try and let the plant heal.

I will check back sweetie.

Peace

You need a pic of the bug, sweetie, that could even look like a deficiancy. Do what you are doing, and keep at it. Research all you can about these things, then you will be able to fight them, the more you know about them. Get those sticky traps out there too, even fly -paper will trap them, and a traped adult cannot lay eggs so every one you trap, you will kill hundreds more. If this is a new problem then you have a chance, but get those traps in there.

Do you have a snorkel sprayer to reach the undersides throughly? You have to get 100% coverage on all leaves. If you don't kill'm all in the first 10 days, they will overrun you and their saliva will cause major molding. I lived thru my infestation, but the guy who gave me the infested clones didn't.

Zigzagman when should i spray day/night and is it ok if it gets in the res, and you say soakem down good, do i have to wipe it off.

Thank you very much for quick reply

peace

Don't go that nuts with the sprayer... I cover the medium with a drop cloth when I go gonzo with a sprayer... Spray when temp is under 80. Follow the first spray with a second 4 days later, to break their egg cycle, if you're not 100% free on day 10, hit'm one last time... If they survive that one, you have to give up and ditch'm. The white fly can develop immunity to pesticides in one generation... That gives you one shot to kill.m

Don't wipe off your first spray... After that you'll know if you want to wash them off.

Zigzagman do the lights have to be off or on

thank

peace

Light, so you can see... BTY a big fan will blow out all the flyers... I fly swatted those...

Edit Note...
Don't smoke anything treated in less than 7 days, that's how long it takes to become 100% inert. Read the instructions also, about mixing and cleaning off your plants.

Thanks jangel i will try and get a pic, it is difficult my camera will not clearly show the bug

peace

no worries, chunk. do what you have to and don't worry about pics. Solve the prob, then show us the corpses!
