Aphids – On Onion, Garlic and Chives
Q: Could you tell me what are the little black bugs that are all over my green onions?
A: Chives, garlic and onions are famous for attracting aphids in spring.
The best controls are organic: blast them off with a strong stream of water or apply insecticidal soap. Beneficial insects will be attracted to the afflicted plants soon and will help with control.
