Hello

I have one single columbine that has a pretty bad case of leaf miners. I
know usually you can just pick off the infested leaves and discard. But
my
whole plant is taken over. I'm afraid if I don't take some action soon it
will kill my plant. Would insecticidal soap do the trick? Is there any
way
of getting rid of these little things? Any suggestions would be
appreciated.

Its too late to do treat the infested leaves. You can cut the plant off to
the ground and dispose of the leaves. New leaves will appear. I usually
see some leaf miner damage after the plants flower. This year it stared
very early and the plants are quite heavily infested.
