Why Aphids Are A Serious Problem

Aphids are small, soft-bodied insects that feed by sucking sap from leaves, stems, and new growth. Over time, this feeding weakens plants and can lead to curled or distorted leaves, stunted growth, and a general decline in plant health. On prized shrubs, ornamental trees, or garden beds, that damage can be costly to undo.

As aphids feed, they leave behind a sticky substance called honeydew. Honeydew coats leaves, patio surfaces, and outdoor furniture and often leads to black sooty mold. This combination makes plants look unhealthy and can make outdoor areas less enjoyable for your family.

Here in Jacksonville, the warm, humid climate and long growing season give aphids many months to feed and reproduce. Populations can build up quickly on favorite plants, especially on tender new growth in spring and during mild winters. Without a thoughtful control plan, you may clear one outbreak only to see another return later in the year.

Because aphids are often found alongside other landscape pests, homeowners dealing with plant damage may also notice activity related to services like ant control or seasonal pressure that overlaps with outdoor issues commonly addressed through mosquito control.

Early action usually means less damage and more treatment options that fit your comfort level. When you call our team, we look at how widespread the issue is and talk through reasonable ways to help protect your landscape before the problem spreads to more plants on your property.

Our Approach To Aphid Control

When you contact The Pest Company about aphids, we focus on giving you clear information and a straightforward path to relief. Our technicians start by listening to what you are seeing, then inspecting your plants, shrubs, and trees that are showing signs of stress. We look for active aphids, honeydew, and related issues that may be happening at the same time.

After we understand what is happening, we talk through a plan that fits your property. This can include targeted treatments on specific plants, guidance about plant care, and recommendations for practical steps you can take between visits. Our goal is to reduce aphid populations in a way that is effective and sensible for your outdoor spaces.

We select treatment methods with care and take into account whether you have children, pets, or outdoor living areas near the affected plants. Our technicians explain where they are treating, what products or approaches they are using, and what you can expect after the visit. You can ask questions at any point, and we provide clear, honest answers about what we are doing and why.

Because Jacksonville has a long growing season, some properties benefit from seasonal or recurring pest control services. During your estimate, we can discuss whether that makes sense for your yard or if a focused aphid service is enough. We work to create a plan that fits your needs rather than pushing a one-size-fits-all schedule.

Here is how a typical aphid service with our team works:

• Initial conversation to understand your concerns and schedule a convenient visit
• On-site inspection of plants, shrubs, and trees that may be affected by aphids
• Clear explanation of what we find and recommended treatment options
• Targeted application using methods chosen with family, pets, and plants in mind
• Practical guidance on what to watch for next and when to contact us again

Every aphid situation is a little different, depending on plant varieties, landscape design, and how long the pests have been present. Our licensed technicians adjust their approach based on what they see on your property, and they work carefully so you can feel comfortable with the steps we take.

At The Pest Company, we focus on being fast, reliable, and respectful of your home or business. When aphids are damaging plants you have invested in, we know you do not want to wait long for help.

Our company opened in 2025, and our technicians bring field experience from working in pest control before joining our team. We keep our service area local so we can respond more quickly when customers in Jacksonville need help. This local focus also means we see the same plant types and pest patterns on a regular basis.

Safety is at the center of how we work.

For properties that include offices, retail spaces, or shared landscapes, aphid issues can overlap with broader needs addressed through commercial pest control. In some cases, plant damage concerns may also arise during real estate transactions, where services like WDO inspections are part of protecting property value.

Signs You Need Professional Help

A few aphids here and there on a plant are common, especially in a warm climate, and sometimes light pressure can be managed with simple steps. It becomes a bigger concern when you start to see heavy clusters of insects on stems or the undersides of leaves. At that point, plants often struggle to keep up with the stress.

Many people in Jacksonville try over-the-counter sprays or home remedies first. These can sometimes knock down visible aphids for a short time, but populations may return if eggs or protected colonies remain. Repeated use of the wrong products can also stress plants or leave residue on surfaces where kids and pets play.

If aphids are spreading across several shrubs, ornamental trees, or shared property lines, it can be difficult to control the issue without a plan. This is especially true in neighborhoods or commercial settings with extensive landscaping, where pests can move easily from plant to plant. In these cases, a professional inspection can save time and reduce frustration.

You may benefit from calling our team if you notice:

• Leaves that are curling, yellowing, or dropping on many plants across your yard
• Sticky honeydew on vehicles, walkways, decks, or outdoor furniture beneath trees or shrubs
• Large clusters of tiny insects on new growth or the undersides of leaves
• Aphid problems that keep returning after multiple DIY attempts
• Concerns about using stronger store-bought pesticides around children or pets

When you reach this stage, having a licensed technician from The Pest Company look at your property can give you clear direction. We talk through what is realistic, explain your choices, and help you decide on the next step without pressure.
