    I spray mine with a garlic spray and rub as many off as possible, I had the same bother last year and this seamed to work, I haven't got a lot of dahlias so it doesn't take too long to do

    I've had this problem this year for the first time.  I was so angry when I noticed as the past years have had no problems with them at all!  Some of the flower heads were drooping with the weight of them and the fact they were sucking all the goodness out of them.  

    I've cut some of the infected heads off but I have to admit to buying a spray from the garden centre and blasting the ****ers!
