Aphid control in Charleston

Aphids are small, soft-bodied insects that feed on the sap of plants, often causing damage to gardens and crops.

The Problem

Aphids are tiny insects belonging to the superfamily Aphidoidea, typically measuring 1 to 10 millimeters in length. They come in various colors, including green, black, and yellow. Aphids are known for their rapid reproduction, with a single female capable of producing hundreds of offspring in a short period. They feed by piercing plant tissues and sucking out the sap, which can weaken plants and lead to stunted growth. In addition to direct damage, aphids can transmit plant viruses, making them a significant concern for gardeners and farmers.

Our Treatment Process

  • Thorough inspection to identify infested plants and assess the level of activity
  • Natural predators introduction, such as ladybugs, to control aphid populations
  • Insecticidal soap or neem oil application to eliminate aphids while being safe for plants
  • Ongoing monitoring to ensure aphids do not return

Our approach focuses on effective management of aphids while promoting a healthy garden ecosystem.
