The voice of doom!

We've got a double-header this week, folks. In the hours after the Thieves' Gauntlet, all the good cities of the world have been attacked by the forces of evil! (Cue ominous music.) No less than eight gods fight in the streets of Shelezar, while the Dark Seraph tries to gain a foothold into the city through Lyanna's portal. In other words, everything's hitting the fan. Let see what Our Heroes (tm) are up to, shall we?

How to get rid of bugs on plants?

Sometime in the last few weeks, I think someone spilled some sugary drink near my plants. It got on my windowsill and also the plant containers and (here's the important bit) on some of the leaves. I didn't notice until today when I went to go water them. It looks like I now have tiny white flying bugs living on the leaves of my poinsettia and my african violet. I've cleaned up the flat surfaces and the pots as best I can, but how do I fix the leaves? Do I just have to cut off the ones that are sticky? Will the bugs leave if there's no sticky leaves left, or do I need to get rid of the whole plant?

Please help a panicking plant mommy!
