Aphids are a destructive garden pest that can be extremely difficult for gardeners to get under control. They will target the stems and underside of leaves where they suck out the nutrient carrying fluids a plant needs to survive. This will cause leaves to deteriorate which stifles a plants ability to photosynthesize and grow. They also secrete a sticky liquid that attracts and propagates mold which is often carried to other plants that become infected. This combination of weakening plants while introducing new fungal problems can lead to a plant suffering and failing. What starts out as a small problem can get out of hand quickly as one weakened plant becomes the epicenter of a mold outbreak.

Curling, discolored, or misshapen leaves could all indicate the presence of aphids. Checking around the damage for the presence of aphids will determine if the cause is aphids.
Aphids secrete a sticky substance called honeydew.
The honeydew secretion left by aphids creates a surface that mold can stick to and grow.
Feeding aphids impact photosynthesis which disrupts the fruiting / flowing cycle.
Seeing predatory bugs like lady bugs and lace wings could indicate that they are feeding on aphids. Signs of ants could also indicate aphids as ants are attracted by the honeydew.
Aphids will weaken a plants ability to fight off mold and disease which increases the likelihood that disease and mold will spread as aphids move from plant to plant.
Getting rid of aphids permanently can be difficult for large gardens as it is an ongoing battle which requires constant attention. Permanent eradication of aphids is best achieved through population reduction methods like spraying with neem oil to prevent infestations. Any aphids that make their way into your garden should be slowed down enough by those preventative measures to allow identification and elimination possible. Introducing predatory insects can also help reduce populations while signs of aphids go undetected.
Look for sprays that include a combination of insecticide, fungicide, and miticide to offer complete protection against aphids, other small mites, and any mold that might grow due to honeydew.
Insecticidal soaps and horticultural oils like neem oil are effective treatments against aphid populations. Applying a spray leaves a thin barrier that is designed to repel or kill aphids that are in your garden.
Vinegar kills aphids because it contains an acid that kills them on contact. When diluted with water, the mix becomes an effective treatment for an infected plant that helps control aphid populations but won’t hurt the plant.
