    They can be a bit of an aphid magnet sadly. If you have a pump-up spray bottle you can gently blast them off or a spray of soapy water normally kills them after a few daily applications.
    If you can keep your head, while those around you are losing theirs, you may not have grasped the seriousness of the situation.

    I agree with wild edges but I've also heard that hanging those sticky fly strips helps.
