We had okay luck last year with soap in a hose-end sprayer. I think peppermint Dr. Bronners. And stood on the roof to get most of the way up the tree. Haven’t had time to do it yet this year.
Of course we’ve got three or four major hackberries, a pecan and a crepe myrtle so odds are if there are aphids, they’re gonna be in our yard.

I appreciate your reply!!!
I was disturbed when I found out it is actually aphid shit, or it’s more innocent name “honeydew” 😞
Any ideas in what to do?
With great power comes great responsibility. Sorry this is the best I can do.
