Aphids on Pansies: Winter Survival and Control

Aphids on container pansies in January suggest the pots are near a warm house wall, preventing cold-induced mortality. Move containers to a fully exposed, frigid location.

Control

Continue spraying with Schultz Household & Garden Insect Spray or insecticidal soap. The cold will eventually knock them back if they're truly exposed.
