My builder uses Houzz Pro to plan the timeline and give detailed estimates and daily updates with photos of progress, and provide invoices at pre-agreed key points in the build. This made the whole experience much more efficient and stress-free.

aphids

19 years ago

I've seen often that the solution to getting rid of aphids is to blast them off with water. I've even used this trick myself, and though it seems to work, I have a question.

Where do the aphids go? The blast of water doesn't kill them. And it seems they just go to another plant. Ideas? Thoughts?
