# First ever pest problem! Help! Found these guys tucked behind a leaf…

_Postat av ryswinney den 2024-06-17_

First ever pest problem! Help!

Found these guys tucked behind a leaf on my potted begonia props, didn’t even give them a chance, leaf was cut off and binned straight away and rest of the plant doused with a neem mix. Have also been put in a different room.

Any ideas what they are and what I should do going forward?

Aphids?

From what I see on Google I think you’re right.

Spray the remaining leaves down with isopropyl alcohol and water.  
Do this over the course of a few days just to be sure.
