Greetings.
I have been fighting these tiny insects for onver a year now. I'm not
sure that they are aphids. They are much smaller than the aphids I see in
the gardern. They are barely visible as small, whitish dots, maybee the
size of a pencil point. I'm fairly certain that they are some sort of
sucking insect, but not whitefly or mealy bug. They tend to cluster on
flower stalks and leaf petioles of my sundews. They seem to leave the
rest of my CP alone.
A soap solution seems to kill them, but it can also kill the sundews if
I'm not careful.
Can anyone suggest a systemic insecticide that I could use safely?
Thanks in advance!
