Much like smoke in the summertime or potholes in the… all the time, October is blue ash aphid season in Spokane.

I believe that means we are legally obligated to do a story on them and this year, I drew the aphid straw.

I was tasked with finding out what we can do about them and how long they will be around. The short answers: Nothing and a couple of weeks. But that would’ve only been like a 15-second story, so I stretched it out.

Enjoy!
