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.

Are these bugs on the trunk?

10 years ago

Bought a couple chinese elms (ulmus parvifolia) and they are covered in ants and what appear to be some other bugs that the ants are after (not the orange spots, but the brown/grey looking bugs, some with white fuzz around them). Are these woody aphids? Can/should I spray the trees with insecticides?


Thanks!

    Ahh. That's a partial small dead leaf. Whew! Thanks for looking out though!
