๐จ Sticky cars, black stains on patios, and bugs everywhere in spring?
Hereโs the part most people donโt realize ๐
๐ That problem starts in the WINTER.
Aphids hide (overwinter) on trees and shrubs during the colder months โ December through February โ and then explode in the spring when temperatures warm up. Thatโs when you see:
โข Sticky residue (honeydew) on cars and outdoor furniture
โข Black sooty mold on driveways, patios, and walkways
โข Plants suddenly looking unhealthy and stressed
๐ฑ The solution is preventative treatment during the dormant season (winter).
Applying licensed treatments now helps stop infestations before they start โ so when spring arrives, youโre not dealing with the mess.
โ Protect your trees and shrubs
โ Keep cars and patios clean
โ Prevent spring infestations before they happen
