They sure are. I even found a few more on the foliage after making this post :(
I gave the top soil another treatment and hopefully that will finish the job.
Good to know flowering helps reduce them too, thank you for sharing, it makes sense totally.
Thanks for the comment and support!
Yeah you basically have to declare war. Probably a good 5-7 days of spraying would do the trick. And less foliage the better.
