The milkweed in the wild flower garden is getting covered with aphids. But, ladybugs are there feasting! A natural way to get rid of aphids is to just use a wet paper towel and gently pull them off. One might also use the hose if you have a gentle spray option. Of course, perhaps nature will take its course, and he aphids will provide some nourishment for the ladybugs!
I went to these to articles for information:
Ladybugs and Aphids by E. Vinje
