The bugs of my Oleander

Let's take a close look at all the pests on the oleander during this muggy summer day.

First, I see tons of yellow aphids. Black ants are eating the yellow aphids and the white things are aphid eggs. What a mess. This called for a systemic treatment.


Here's a ladybug...which is great because they eat aphids.


Here's the oleander caterpillar. It only eats dessert rose, oleander and mandevilla. They eat the leafy green part of the leaves and don't touch the veins.

  1. They eat allamandas. They sure made a mess of my desert roses and allamandas this year. It is the first time I have had a problem with them.

  2. Oleanders are so beautiful when healthy but so hard to keep pest-free. Hope you get good results from your efforts and will soon be showing us pictures of bushy plants in full bloom.
