Colorado Potato Beetles (CPB) are a major pest where I am and I am always looking for novel ways to control them. I just ran across a bug blaster water spraying attachment ( http://www.leevalley.com/garden/page.aspx?c=2&p=56127&cat=2,2280,54307&ap=2 ) which is supposed to blast away soft bodied insects and their eggs. While CPB are definitely not soft bodied I would like to know if anybody has experience with this kind of tool for CPB (or other insect) egg destruction. This could save a lot of time spent crushing eggs and picking adults and avoid spraying pesticides.
