An aphid friend is an ant as they milk the aphid to use in the nest
The natural enemy of the aphid is the lady bug ( little domed shaped bug that is red with black spots )
so remove the ants and let natural predators do the job
the aphid controlle is -white oil and there are organic mixtures that you can use that you can make at home
search -- organic remedies for the control of aphids

Testimonial: "Hi. I understand Ants are helpful. Have read a Lot about the Organic mixtures, & have followed several "reciepes." I ask, need to know *Which is effective? Water n Vinegar? Mixing Essential Oil Cinnamon & spraying? I can't buy Ladybugs locally as I haven't found them. How am I to remove only Ants? Tried BOrax Powder. Still, Aphids continuing to be problematic. Sugestions? 7-4-18"

First clean the sprayer arm of all debris. In the back of most dishwashers there is a screen on the bottom that is often full of junk, debris and other stuff from dishes not being scraped off.

Clean that screeen off.

Run vinegar (1 cup) for a full cycle to help break down the lime and other build ups.

Check sprayer arm for debris and other objects. carefully pick it out with a small needle or sometimes even a nail works.

Try running dishes again to see if this helps.

SOURCE: Dishwasher spray arms don't spin & spray water

Could be a a couple different issues.. Not filling with enough water or food chopper broke or food chopper filter screen clogged.

Check water level:
Run the DW and wait for the main wash to start (water will fill. pause then complete fill) The water should be no more than 1/4 inch below the heating element. If not there..replace water inlet valve.

Inspect food chopper:
1. Remove lower spray arm and rear water supply tube to upper spray arm.
2. Remove torx screws that secure the sump cover.
3. Remove primary filter
4. Remove food chopper cover to expose the chopper assembly. Inspect for breakage or blockage.

My citrus trees stems and leaves are black what do i need to do

This is most likely the result of a aphid infestation. Did you have a lot of pine head size bugs on your new growth. Also it might be a fungus but most likely its the aphids. Lady bug will help get rid of the pest. lady bugs are what we call a beneficial insect. do you have any pictures you can up loud to help me confirm?

What can I do about the cherry tree I have that is losing leaves one branch at a time and is dripping with a dark red sap like substance. How can a fix it?

First thing to do is check for insects. You may need a magnification glass. Look for spider webs on it. These are caused by aphids though, not spiders. If you find them, you need to spray with an insecticide that does not poison any fruit. You can use soapy water too and or cedar oil to get rid of aphids. Other diseases of cherry trees include fungal and bacterial infections. These are harder to treat.
