My orchids have been hanging out happily in and on a big tree in my backyard. A couple of weeks ago I notice scales and mealy bugs and aphids and some other strange looking bugs on some of the dead tree leaves that fell on the ground. I'm afraid that they will start to infest my orchids. But I can't exactly spray a huge tree of pest, can I ?
Is there anything I can use to safly get rid of these buggers without killing myself in the process ? I also have kids and animals playing in the backyard..so I have been too nervous to use pesticides in large quantity. Any advice will be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.
