what about putting some oil at the base of the truck? will that trap them?
What is tanglefoot, something like a stick fly trap?

something is attracting the aphids. you might want to put some tanglefoot
around the
truck to trap the ants bringing in the aphids after you blow them off the
tree with
the insecticide soap. webs suggest mites. Ingrid

I far as I can tell it's aphids (small green bugs). The tree has lots
of
sticky leaves and some webs on the leaves.
What else can I try?
