My crepe myrtle bushes have been damaged by aphids. I trimmed off all the branches, but not the trunk. It's the first of October. Do you think they will give me a pretty blooms next summer? I tried spraying them with aphid pesticides, but it didn't work. I thought about vinegar next time. These bushes are in front of my house.
Please help.

Insecticidal soap will kill the aphids.
I had aphids in my garden not long ago. I used a sprayer filled with water and some laundry soap that was non toxic. I had to spray the leaves each day. After this you will need to take a garden hose and wash the leaves.
Do you mean you have trimmed the branches and removed the leaves?
I always keep Neem Oil and Insecticidal Soap in my shed as generally either one of these will kill almost any insect/disease that attacks my plants.
You can buy these in concentrate - to mix your own or in ready to use spray containers. Use as directed.
Sold online or at all garden centers.
