Plants Shrubs garden pests.

Hi all.

Hope someone can advise. Moved to Quesada permanently in January and brought some lovely pots and plants/shrubs for our patio. Just discovered they all have what looks like green fly or green midges on them eating the leaves. Plants seem to be surviving and flowering. Any suggestions on what we can do or get to get rid of these.

Thanks

T

Try spraying with soapy water early evening not when sun is on them.

You can also buy spray from local garden centres these do work. Pete.

Don't bother, the ladybirds will be out soon and do the job. Same with mildew and any other bothersome pests. Relax and let nature take its course.

Sometimes it doesn't works as we people want :lol: I could suggest some scented sticky traps.

Buy an insecticide spray from a garden centre.
