Tiny Bugs All Over Hyacinth Bean Vine Pods And Stems

It’s the end of the season and I’m anxiously awaiting the maturation of the pods to harvest for next season, and I noticed that most of the pods and a lot of the vine stems are covered with tiny, mite-sized bugs – should I be concerned and take any action?

It could be aphids or spider mites (but you probably can't see the spider mites). I would first try spraying them with water and see if they fall off. My experience with aphids is they just move out of the spray. I will get a paper towel and carefully wipe them off. Neem oil should help, too.

Great advice – I sprayed the plant with cold water on the strongest setting and that removed them! Glad I didn't need to use any pesticides or chemicals.
