I have a potted basil plant inside my apartment, and lately it hasn't been
doing too good. The leaves are wilting a bit and drooping. I look closely
and found these really small white bugs on the underside of the leaves.

1. I was wondering if anyone knew what they were?

2. Are they a risk to my other house plants?

3. How can I effectively get rid of them?

Thanks!

Spray it with a mix of olive oil and vinegar. Your going to have dead
bugs and a nice salad !

aphids.....big problem they'll get to ur plants and destroy them, they are a
danger to all plants in your house

How should I get rid of them? I guess for now I'll set the basil outside,
however it will die out there if I leave it for too long. Your input is
appreciated.
