Aphids in your garden or on houseplants? ✅ With GREEN GUARDIA neem oil, repellent spray, and lacewing larvae, you can effectively and sustainably combat aphids.

1. General information about aphids

Aphids (Aphidoidea) are tiny plant pests commonly found in gardens, on balcony plants, and in greenhouses. They use their proboscises to suck sap from leaves, buds, and young shoots. This weakens the plant and leads to stunted growth, twisted leaves, and sticky honeydew .

Aphids reproduce extremely rapidly – ​​often entire plants are covered with colonies just a few days after their first appearance. The honeydew also promotes sooty mold and attracts ants, which further promote the infestation. If left untreated, aphids can severely weaken plants and significantly reduce harvests.

2. Detect aphid infestation – typical signs

You can recognize an aphid infestation by the following symptoms:

  • Colonies of small insects (green, black, yellow or reddish) on leaf undersides or shoot tips
  • Rolled or twisted leaves
  • Sticky honeydew on leaves, windowsills or garden furniture
  • Black deposits (sooty mold) on plant surfaces
  • Ant trails on infested plants

Aphids are particularly dangerous in spring, as they weaken young plants as soon as they sprout.
