There are some kind of teeny tiny white and black bugs all over my Colocasia 'Mojito' and 'Black Magic'. The insects are covering both sides of the leaves as well as the stems. I just sprayed them down thoroughly with Safer Insecticidal soap. Will Safer do it or will I have to go stronger? And is this going to be an ongoing battle all summer? Sad I just bought these plants about 6 weeks ago so I have no experience.

What are these insects? They don't look like the aphids I have seen on roses and other plants. These were not yellow. They were smaller than regular aphids and they were white and black.

Thanks!
Carol
