HELP.... anyone have a solution to woolly aphids. They are the healthiest,
fattest white balls you will ever see.
I don't want to harm my native plants. Soapy water didn't seem to help at
all. (suggestion by a friend) I live
in the Southwest of WA. The ants are happily spreading them everywhere.
Any help greatly received.

Merry Christmas to all.

Try Pyrethrum or garlic water perhaps.
