What To Do About Aphids on Elephant Ear PlaNT

Hey, thanks for your article! I was hoping that just a blast of water would do the trick, and the aphids look very young so as you mentioned, getting them early will be so much easier. I heard recently, that the way aphids feed is with a tube like "proboscis" thingy; when the blast of water hits them, the tube is snapped off, and presto! no more way to feed, and they die.

I may have to put some Sluggo-Plus on there and see if it helps get rid of the ants. I really hate those ants!
