# I think these might be aphids in my planter with these tiny pansies,…

_Posted by Lynda on 2025-05-25_

I think these might be aphids in my planter with these tiny pansies, but they’re so small I couldn’t be sure. I did see leaves that glistened, but couldn’t catch it with my camera. Later, when I enlarged my photos, it looked like these could be aphids. Are they APHIDS, for sure, and what is the best way to get rid of them? TIA!

It could be aphids. I can’t tell from the photo. Treat them as a threat. Hose gown the plant. Treat with Castile soap or neem oil.
