Evergreen Bush Cottony Aphids: Systemic Insecticide

White stationary "things" on branches + black spots under leaves = cottony aphids (or scale). Eggs hatching soon = crawler stage.

Control

1. Systemic soil drench (imidacloprid) NOW—catches crawlers as they feed.
2. Horticultural oil spray (thorough coverage) for immediate knock-down.
3. Repeat oil in 7–10 days for hatch window.

Why Systemic

• Translocates to new growth.
• Protects all season.
• Easy for homeowner.

Don't wait—crawlers spread fast. Systemic + oil combo best.
