How do I get rid of them, the aphids, WITH OUT hurting the hummingbirds that come to dine? I am thinking that maybe I have to get rid of the hybrid honeysuckle and replace it with the wild type which doesn't seem to be affected by the aphids. Any ideas greatly appreciated. With a certified backyard wildlife habitat I am afraid to use any chemicals. |
