    We deal with these bugs every single year! They are really aggressive here, too. My kids are scared of them unlike other bugs we have around. It seems it’s always something! Thanks for the great info!

    Good information. I pulled a lot by hand. I placed them in water with baking soda and soap. Doing the Neem oil next. Thank you!

    Thank you for helping me identify my tomatillo killers! LOL I had started killing them a couple days ago as I was sure they were the culprit, but, it is good to know I am not offing something that is beneficial. They seem to like the tomatillos over the tomatoes at this point! I wonder if I treat with beneficial nematodes in the Fall if I would have any luck controlling them for next year??? Located in zone 8a in Northwest Alabama. These were planted in straw bales but I have inground clay beds also.

    1. Keeping beds clean and mulch piles away from the garden is suppose to help as a lot of insects will bed down in the debris over winter. Appreciate you stopping by!
