Hey- wondering if you other girls ever had issues with them? They seem to come around here when it's hot dry and windy. They've gotten my potatoes , tomatoes & eggplants before and one of my penta plants. I hate them!!! The only thing I've used that's worked is the homemade soap spray with a bit of olive oil and rubbing alcohol. I'm not a fan of the store bought chemicals. It seems you have to catch these guys early because they multiply and infest quickly. I don't really have a regular routine of spraying my garden which could be the problem- I suppose. I tend to just try to inspect and spray as needed. If any of you have a routine or -what is it? Any suggestions appreciated.
