However, these insects are tiny and resemble miniature cicadas. They are dark reddish-brown with mottled wings. Adults are tiny enough that they can crawl through the openings in most screens and therefore often find shelter during the winter inside houses. In the spring, the adults become active about the time the leaf buds of hackberry trees open. These plants are perennials that can also reproduce by seeds and aerial bulbils.
Bulbils form at the top of the stem and are oval and smooth.
Wild garlic also reproduces by underground bulb offsets but wild onion does not. Both species produce a clump of plants that is unsightly in a lawn. Control recommendations are the same for each. The combination products are preferred. Spray these weeds during March on a day that is at least 50 degrees.
