Pest Information

  • Aphids: A Common Garden Pest in the Inland Empire: Aphids are a widespread pest in the Inland Empire, targeting a wide range of plants, from vegetables and flowers to trees and shrubs. These small insects reproduce rapidly and can quickly infest a garden if left untreated.
  • Identification: Aphids are tiny, pear-shaped insects that come in various colors, including green, black, yellow, and brown. They have soft bodies and long, slender legs.
  • Habits: Aphids feed on plant sap, weakening the plant and causing leaves to curl, wilt, or turn yellow. They also excrete a sticky substance called honeydew, which can attract ants and promote the growth of sooty mold.
  • Threats: Aphids can severely damage plants, stunting their growth, reducing yields, and even killing them in severe infestations. They can also transmit plant viruses, further compromising plant health.
