What the hell is going on with Crepe Myrtles, at least in the Plano/Frisco/Dallas area?

Anyone else's leaves getting all slimly/waxy and falling off? I've been told they're aphids, and while this happens nearly every year, it's never been this bad for my area and always treatable. I've always used this in a granule form and it's worked great but after two applications, it's just kinda working. Whatever it is, it's BAD this year.


My son's school has a sidewalk lined with probably 20 and they all look terrible. I guess the leaves will start falling off for Fall soon enough but this drives me insane.
