leaffooted bug problem

[obsessed]

I have a bad infestation of leaf foot bugs. Anyone got any good remedies that don't include me picking them off?


And in my defense I tried but they were big and they flew and I got scared and way grossed out!

DE should work.

I didn't recognize the name but after looking it up I recognized it. It's a relative of the stink bug and squash bug so the same ccontrols should work. You have to be really persistant to get ahead of the stink bug family. They seem to shrug off most common pesticides. Neem oil applied to the bottom of the leaf should at least give you some control over the numphs if you want to stay organic.
