# Small black bugs are damaging my plants, and they are spreading to…

Small black bugs are damaging my plants, and they are spreading to nearby plants as well. I am killing them by squeezing them and using neem oil. Is it worth the effort to fight them, or are my plants going to die anyway? Should I separate them from the other plants and give up on saving them?
