Harry,
I have had many years of fight with giant black aphid. I thought I was the only one, because no one spoke of it.

Some years better than others look for ants along with them . they attack the new candle as it starts to elongate must be like BBQ ribs to them.

Easy kill used to be Isotox now no ;longer sold i think , orthene is next best thing.

Malathion make them hungrier and they laugh and thank you for insecticidle soap and they ask for rice and beans if you spray them with pepper and garlic.

good luck
