Aphids appearing from my tree!

[ellenleaves]

I've always had a real tree but never so many bugs! Had it 2.5 weeks now and they've started to fall out of the tree, and quite a lot of them! Do I need to take my tree down and go fake for the first time??

I’d burn the house down myself

Mine too! First time in 10 years it's happened. Loads fell out last week, and then a few more mid week. B&q refunded my £49 when I went down there today.

Its an outdoor tree, that's what happens...

@Franticbutterfly I can't face taking it down!

@Russell19 this has never happened in my 43 years of real tree ownership before. I know bugs live in them but not falling out regularly onto the floor!

I'm tier 4 now so at least if I can find a replacement it gives us something to do.

@thelegohooverer not that extreme but the chiminea needs fuel...

Same here.... never had it before but have loads of the buggers@ just keep removing/hoovering up.....
