Flower mites?

I have these tiny yellow bugs that are infesting my snapdragons and petunias. What are they and how can I get rid of them without killing my flowers?

I also suggest getting a spray bottle. If at all possible one with a pump, to put some pressure behind the water. Mix up some soapy water (dawn dish water liquid), and spray liberally over all plants. Do this atleast once to twice a week and see if it diminishes the infestation. Also you can buy lady bugs to release onto your plants. They eat aphids and mites. and really keep the population of the aphids way down. You can order ladybugs on line from a garden center.
Reply:if u get a loupe (magnifying glass) and look at them... aphids will have two little exhaust pipe looking things and mites will still be kinda hard to see with a magnifier...



i take a squirt of dawn dish detergent and put it in a spray bottle and spray the plant on both sides of the leaves and seems to keep them in control



this works by suffocating them
Reply:Not sure but migh be aphids. Are they chewing holes or just sucking the nutrients? There are a number of things such as Eight that will work on either chewing or sucking bugs. You can get an insecticile in powder form ora liquid spray. Check with your local garden center--not home depot or wall mart garden centers.
