You need to spray weekly to out do their reproductive cycle, otherwise the will destroy your plant. They also like new growth so look there.

Wow little guy that is quite the infestation. I think those are called humans. Try burning down the nearest house to get rid of them.

Looks like you got a case of the fingers. They usually go away on their own but sometimes you have to use pesticides

Aphids! Cute, but sometimes really annoying. If there are only a few just smash them. Don't buy lady beetles, they fly away after waking up

Aphids. Home and garden store guys should have something that will kill those without harming the soil/plants

I use olive oil, vinegar, water and hit chili powder. Harmless for plants. Kills the eggs too.

This one gets it. Ladybugs are cheap and will take care of this problem. Keep em around til the job is done with a mesh net.

buying them is not a good idea. Since they are collected in the Sierras for their overwintering habit, their first instinct is to fly away
