Euonymus shrub covered with flies?

Question

We have 2 large euonymus shrubs that surround our patio - but they constantly have swarms of flies in them. Is there any way to get rid of them?

Answer 1

this is natural for this type of plant......and the birsd love it..........they will leave on their own soon..........do not try to kill them....they ate gathering pollen

Answer 2

I don;t think you mean aphids ( green and white fly etc) flies are naturally drawn to this plant. If you feel uncomfortabe, change the plants.

Answer 3

You can try the natural cheap way too of fairy washing up liquid dilute in water in a squirting bottle.

I use this on all my plants and veg

or use a bug spray.
