Aphid Control In New England

Stop Aphids From Ruining Your Plants

If you’re noticing sticky leaves, curling growth, or clusters of tiny insects on your plants, you’re likely dealing with aphids. These common garden pests can quickly weaken shrubs, flowers, vegetables, and ornamental plants—especially during New England’s short but intense growing season.

At Pest Assassins, we help homeowners and property managers protect their landscapes with effective, contract-free aphid control in New England. As a veteran-owned company, our team brings disciplined attention to detail, licensed expertise, and a treatment approach designed to protect your plants without unnecessary disruption.

We understand how frustrating it can be to see damage appear just as your garden begins to thrive. That’s why our aphid control services focus on precision, timing, and long-term prevention—so your plants stay healthy throughout the season.

Why Aphids Are A Serious Threat

Aphids may be small, but they can cause significant damage in a short amount of time. These pests feed by piercing stems and leaves to extract sap, weakening plants and reducing their ability to grow and recover.

As aphids feed, they produce a sticky substance called honeydew. This residue coats leaves, patios, railings, and garden surfaces, often leading to black sooty mold growth that blocks sunlight and further stresses plants. Left untreated, infestations can spread rapidly, especially during periods of warm temperatures and new plant growth.

Certain plants are especially vulnerable in New England landscapes, including roses, hydrangeas, tomatoes, peppers, leafy greens, and many ornamental shrubs. Once aphids establish themselves early in the season, recovery becomes more difficult—making early intervention essential.

Our Aphid Treatment Process

We approach every aphid problem with a clear, structured process so you know exactly what to expect.

Our technicians begin with a detailed inspection of your property, paying close attention to new growth, leaf undersides, and shaded areas where aphids often hide. We assess how widespread the infestation is, identify plant varieties affected, and determine contributing factors such as moisture levels or surrounding vegetation.

Once the inspection is complete, we recommend a targeted treatment plan designed to control aphids while minimizing impact on beneficial insects and surrounding plants. Rather than blanket spraying, our methods focus on treating affected areas directly—allowing us to address the problem efficiently and responsibly.

Our team is fully licensed in Rhode Island and Massachusetts, and our treatments follow all state and environmental guidelines. We adjust our approach based on New England’s changing weather patterns and plant cycles to ensure the best possible outcome.

Safe Protection For Families And Plants

Many homeowners are understandably concerned about safety when treating plant pests. We take those concerns seriously.

Our aphid control services prioritize clear communication and responsible application. Before treatment, we walk through your yard with you, noting areas such as vegetable gardens, pollinator-friendly plants, children’s play areas, and pet zones. Treatments are adjusted accordingly to reduce exposure and support a balanced outdoor environment.

When applicable, we use targeted applications rather than broad sprays, helping limit unnecessary contact while still delivering effective results. After treatment, we provide clear guidance on re-entry times and any short-term precautions needed.

This same safety-first mindset applies across all our pest control services, ensuring consistent standards whether we’re treating plant pests or structural issues.

Ongoing Aphid Prevention Without Contracts

Aphids aren’t always a one-time problem. In many New England landscapes, recurring growth cycles and humid conditions can allow populations to rebound quickly.

That’s why we offer flexible, contract-free prevention options. Some clients prefer a one-time treatment to address a current issue, while others choose seasonal monitoring to stay ahead of future infestations. Our recurring prevention plans are predictable, transparent, and fully customizable—without locking you into long-term agreements.

We monitor plant conditions over time, adjusting treatment frequency as needed based on weather patterns, plant maturity, and pest activity. This proactive approach helps protect your landscape before visible damage occurs.
