Moericke found that aphids avoided landing on white coverings placed on soil and were repelled even more by shiny aluminium surfaces. [132] Integrated pest management of various species of aphids can be achieved using biological insecticides based on fungi such as Lecanicillium lecanii , Beauveria bassiana or Isaria fumosorosea .

Woolly aphids on crab apple bark. Pemphigus gall on cottonwood tree Grylloprociphilus imbricator on Fagus Galls made by Melaphis rhois. Woolly aphids (subfamily: Eriosomatinae) are sap-sucking insects that produce a filamentous waxy white covering which resembles cotton or wool. The adults are winged and move to new locations where they lay egg ...
Aphids are repelled by strongly aromatic plants such as lavender, marigolds, garlic and mint. Plant these among your more vulnerable plants. Using trap plants is a different approach.
Thus, aphids show very complex and rapidly changing within-year dynamics, with each clone going through several generations during the vegetative season and being made up of many individuals, which can be widely scattered in space. The survival of the eggs and/or overwintering aphids determines the numbers of aphids present the following spring ...
A secondary host, based on their geographic location, is the roots of the bald cypress (Taxodium distichum), where some aphids alternate between hosts and others remain with Taxodium distichum year-round. [1] The aphids themselves are a light bluish color with bodies covered with long, white, waxy filaments giving them a woolly appearance.

When a cyclical parthenogenesis occurs, aphids reproduce sexually in the autumn and produce an overwintering egg, deposited on buds and bark crevices of the host plant. In spring the newly hatched nymphs develop in about two to three weeks and at least three molts to wingless, 2–3 mm large Fundatrix.
Occasionally, some insects, such as scale, spider mites, aphids, or whiteflies may take up residence on the leaves. Check the foliage often for any signs of these unwanted guests.
