My neighbor has a beech tree that's about 3 stories tall. Big. It has so many aphids that we cannot use our patio that is under it. Honeydew just drips like rain and it is also spoiling some nice patio furniture I have.

We bought some ladybugs but I know we'd need many more. The leaves were already hosting hundreds of ladybug pupae. But it's been a couple of weeks and the aphids are definitely winning.

I want to approach my neighbor with a good plan. I have kids and outdoor cats.

What can I do?

Thanks so much,

Joanne
