I have some odd looking bugs (Aren't they all odd-looking!?!) on my grape vine. We used a powerful spray of water to knock 'em off. Either they are coming back or new bugs are moving in.

To describe them: It's a mix of small black ants and small brown/black bugs. The ants move round, the others do not. They are stuck into all parts of the grape: leaves, vine, shoots, EVERYTHING!

I have been organic as long as I've been here, and I wish to stay that way. What are the bugs, and what can I do about them?

Thanks for all your help.

If you could post a picture it would help a lot. If garlic/pepper spray doesn't control your bugs, use one of the plant oil sprays. Search this site & discussion board to find out why you have these bug problems.
