# Are these just ants? Aphids? Something else? I just found these…

Are these just ants? Aphids? Something else?

I just found these today. Looks like they’re only on one of my bean plants as of rn. It’s the one that’s flowering the most. I know some ants are beneficial but I know they can also farm aphids so…

If I need to get rid of them I want to avoid pesticides. I’m trying to only garden organically. Besides I have pets so I don’t want to spray anything super toxic. Please help!

Definitely aphids. I just put my hose on jet and spray them off.

Spraying them off is definitely an option. But you can also buy ladybugs on Amazon and they love to eat aphids.
