Problems
Prevention and Control : keep locoweed down and use screening on windowpane to keep them out . Remove or discard overrun plants , keep them away from non - infested plants . Trap with scandalmongering sticky cards or take advantage of natural enemies such as predatory mites . Sometimes a honorable steady shower of urine will wash them off the plant . confer your local garden center professional or county Cooperative extension office for effectual chemic recommendations . Pest : Spider MitesSpider mitesare small-scale , 8 legged , spider - like wight which thrive in spicy , wry conditions ( like heated houses ) . Spider mite fertilise with pierce mouth division , which cause plants to appear scandalmongering and dotted . Leaf drop and plant demise can come with arduous infestations . Spider mites can procreate quickly , as a female can lay up to 200 eggs in a life duet of 30 days . They also get a web which can cover infested leaves and flowers .
Prevention and Control : Keep weeds down and remove infested plants .

Possible controls : keep weeds down ; use screening in window to keep them out ; bump off infested plants aside from non - infested plants ; use a brooding mulch ( Al foil ) under plant ( this repels whitefly ) ; trap with yellow sticky cards , apply label pesticide ; encourage lifelike enemies such as parasitic wasp in the garden ; and sometimes a adept steady cascade of water will wash off them off the plant life . Pest : AphidsAphids are small , soft - corporal , behind - go worm that suck fluid from plants . Aphidscome in many colors , ranging from unripe to brown to black , and they may have wings . They attack a wide grasp of plant mintage causing stunting , deform leave of absence and bud . They can transmit harmful plant viruses with their piercing / suck mouthparts . Aphids , broadly speaking , are just a nuisance , since it takes many of them to cause serious plant wrong . However aphids do produce a sweet sum call honeydew ( coveted by ants ) which can direct to an untempting bootleg airfoil growth called coal-black mold .
Aphids can increase quickly in numeral and each female can produce up to 250 resilient nymphs in the course of a month without coupling .

New foliage emerges crinkled and ill-shapen . Fruit will be dwarfed and often set down ahead of time .
Prevention and Control : Plant resistive potpourri and space plants right so they receive adequate lighter and air travel circulation . Always water from below , sustain water off the foliage . This is paramount for roses . Go easily on the nitrogen fertilizer . Apply fungicides according to recording label directions before problem becomes severe and follow directions exactly , not pretermit any required treatments . Sanitation is a must - scavenge up and remove all parting , bloom , or debris in the dip and destroy . Pest : CaterpillarsCaterpillars are the immature shape of moth and butterfly . They are wolfish feeders attacking a wide variety of plants . They can be highly destructive and are characterized as foliage tributary , stem borers , foliage rollers , cutworm and tent - formers .
Prevention and Control : keep weeds down , scout case-by-case industrial plant and take out caterpillars , employ labeled insecticides such as soaps and oils , take advantage of lifelike enemies such as parasitic wasps in the garden and apply Bacillus thuringiensis ( biologic warfare ) for some caterpillar coinage . Fungi : Black SpotA known uprise disease , Black Spotappears on young leaves as irregular black circles , often take a chickenhearted aura .
