| If you have properly identified oleander aphids, then you will find them on milkweed plants in your location and not anything else. Click on the attached image for comparison. I've found that these particular aphids are quite resistant to sprays of water from the hose unless you REALLY spray the heck out of the plants. Most people cultivate milkweed cultivars to provide the important host plant for Monarch butterfly caterpillars (seen in the image) so attacking those durn aphids that way can't be done if the plants are loaded up with monarch eggs or caterpillars. That's why squishing can be helpful. |
