Diatomaceous earth (food grade only) might work on them. I use my solo sprayer with 3gl water, 1 tbls Golden soy oil (try any sticker like soap), and cup of de. I spray at dusk to avoid bees.  Agitate thoroughly then take the whole tip off and squirt for second to get rid of heavy particles. Keep sloshing the sprayer around to mix. When the tip gets clogged I remove and tap clean.

Good luck,

Breck

Greetings,

 

I just got through with the extension agent identifying the bugs causing

havoc in my garden.  All are new this year, we have never had them

before, but it has been weird weather.  The Agent could identify

critters, but he only has chemical answers, nothing sustainable or organic.

 

Wire worm

leaf footed bug

stink bug

field cockroach - this one he had to look up, he hadn't seen it before.

 

Is there any one treatment that will get the works?  I did read the

stuff on leaf footed bugs this AM, does it have to be essential oil of

peperment?  Would a peppermint tea work?  [I have MCS]

 

Suggestions appreciated.  I did apply seaweed extract to support the

plants while I was waiting for my appointment and I do have compost tea

brewing that will be ready tommorow, to give the plants some help.

 

Bright Blessings,

Kim Travis
