Aphids

About Aphids

Tiny, soft-bodied insects that cluster on new growth, aphids feed by sucking sap from grass and ornamental plants, causing yellowing, stunted growth, and sticky honeydew deposits. In Middle Tennessee lawns, including areas like Franklin and Brentwood, aphid infestations can weaken turfgrass and attract sooty mold. Regular monitoring and targeted treatments help prevent extensive damage.

Aphids is a landscape pest commonly found in Middle Tennessee, including Columbia, Thompson's Station, Spring Hill, and the surrounding areas. This entry is part of our Landscape Pests identification guide.

As lawn care and treatment specialists, we encounter Aphids regularly when servicing properties across the region. Proper identification is the first step toward effective pest management that protects both your turf and your landscape plantings.
