Aphids. Unfortunately not much you can do right now this late into the season. Ladybugs would have eaten that right up.

Prob can still get some ladybugs from Costco or amazon for cheap and fast
Well, its not my plants I'm too worried about. I planted some new spruce trees and don't want them to get eaten. Am I cool or do I need to ladybug bomb them?Quote:

Aphids for sure. Lots of complaining around the area as to the severity of them this year.
I had them annually infest a plant at my old home and simply couldn't get rid of them no matter what I tried - including soap and ladybugs.
They will die off after the first frost, but I wouldn't be surprised to see them back next year. They suck the sap out of the tree but in addition to that the sap attracts wasps and ants. When these get out of control, it is an insect free for all.
yup breakfast protein every morning the past couple of days.. ruining my IMF:cry:Quote:

Tobacco water, I know it sounds gross but it works pretty good.
Nicotine is a very powerful insecticide. I don't really recommend using it.
Better aphids than mosquitos I say
Fuck Aphids.
They've infested my elm tree in-front of my house that the city owns and every time I park a car for over an hour, its absolutely COVERED in aphid shit. Fucking sticky disgusting mess.
They wont inject it this year either because they are doing a study on the effectiveness of their current injections supposedly. First time I actually cant wait for the leaves to drop so I can actually park a car infront of my house without having to wash it two hours later!
That's probably not aphid shit. The certain trees will literally weep sap like light precipitation to the point you can feel it gently falling on you like a damp fog at certain times of the year.Quote:

Yeah it's sap that the elm trees weep. I have one out front of my house too.
For a second I thought the title said “What’s shitting my pants”.
Lol.
Which one of you cowards shit in my pants?
Some tree nerd came and looked and told it us it was Aphid shit. Figured it was sap at first, but he was adamant.
Yup, it's aphid shit. Not sap.
