Atlanta Landscape Alert

The Aphids are out and in full swing in the Atlanta Landscape. It is time to be closely monitoring your Winter Color beds for these little buggers. Aphids are small insects that will suck the life out of your Pansies and Violas before it is time to plant your summer flowers. They leave behind honeydew that will quickly turn into black sooty mold and your flowers will look terrible. A good treatment now will help keep these little guys in check until it is time to pull out your winter color and replace with some fresh new ones for the summer. And as always we can help you out with either. Give us a call! Thrive Land Care. 678-667-1126 or chris@thrivelandcare.com.
