Oh no. I have some elongated black insects on a few plants but never more than one. So I don’t know. Can hardly call one a plant an infestation but it still a worrisome thing so I’m laying in the goods to treat.

Better to get them while there’s only a few! I’m only quarantining the one shelf from my cabinet because I only saw about four bugs. The whole cabinet got one treatment, everyone on the stove will probably get treated 1-2 more times

They are the worst, I’ve been lax about quarantining my new plants and the universe said let’s teach her a lesson
