Hi Tweeters, I need some help please. I have been striving to turn my condo balcony into a hummingbird haven with feeders, a fountain, a bird swing and as many hummingbird friendly plants/flowers that I can manage. The aphids are taking over. I sprayed a fruit and vegetable safe insecticide on a couple of plants they don?t seem to like, but I?m not convinced that a spray supposedly ?safe? for humans is safe for a tiny little hummer. I don?t want to spray anything, but the aphids are killing the blooms that the hummers would feed on, so I just don?t know what to do. Any suggestions on how to get rid of those darn aphids that is safe for hummers? Thank you in advance for your help!
