Aphids are the tiny flies that are in swarms in certain areas of Bay Ridge for two weeks now. (NYT article)
They come due to warm weather. The New York Times believes the smoke may be a factor, but other articles say they are present where there is warm weather and humidity.
These bugs don’t bite.
If they are on your plants, put a few tablespoons of Dawn dish detergent into a spray bottle of water and spray your plants.
