Mistakes in fighting aphids

One of the main omissions is the fact that many summer residents and gardeners do not constantly monitor the condition of plants. Because of this, it is easy to miss the moment of infection of trees or shrubs, when pests are still quite easy to get rid of.

The second mistake is using special means without taking into account the life cycle of the pest. That is, what is effective against the insects themselves may not destroy their eggs at all, etc.

The third mistake is choosing the wrong weather for plant treatment. For example, apple aphids reproduce in moderately warm weather with high air humidity, therefore, on such days you should be ready to treat plants.
