| Q: My Oleanders have a clear stick substance on the leaves and what appear to be clusters of orange bugs.: |
| Answer:
The orange bugs are most probably aphids. Aphids would also be respondable for the sticky residue. Aphids can be black, brown, green or orange in color. A general purpose insecticide will control them. A second spraying to kill the later egg hatchings may be necessary.

| Q: What can I use to get rid of slugs and snails in my garden? Something safe please.: |
| Answer:
Diatomaceous Earth looks like glass shards and razor blades under the microscope. Spread it around each plant in the garden for a slug and snail proof barrier.

| Q: Why is my citrus tree dropping fruit this summer?: |
| Answer:
It's called "June Drop". Citrus trees drop any fruit they are unable to maintain. The remaining fruit will be larger and the tree healthier for "June Drop".
