BUGS

[Little Tinca]

These nasty individals have killed my honey suckle in just 2 weeks. Before it started to flower and I started to spray it with Liquid Derris and continued to do it every few days.

It has never suffered like this before and I'm so annoyed that I might even grub it up. Unless of course somebody can suggest a way of bringing it back to it's former glory. Any help would be much appreciated.

It will not come back to its' former glory this year, but it will recover next year.

 

Next year try a different product.

 

Pravado do one which you can water on in March around the roots, the plant absorbs it and the aphids don't like it. They also do a spray on for later in the year when the little blighters return, Between the two of them you should win.

aphids are born pregnant, bit like blaenau girls

I can see greenfly and blackfly but what are the larger green ones it's not an aphid (I think) but more a sort of beetle.
