Anybody know what to do about these Gypsy Catac@cksuckers that are all over my weed plants? Anything work against them?
 
I heard BT will work but not against the adults munching on my leaves that are the real problem. You can pick them off but it is cumbersome and they simply land on the plants again from the trees.
 
I would apply the bt with a drop of dish soap. For testing, get a container with some leaves from another plant, spray them with bt and place a moth in the container with holes. You will find out pretty fast if it is successful or not.

It doesnt kill the cats which are the ones eating the leaves it seems.
 
They shouldn't be flowering yet. I mix chilli flakes in water overnight and drain with cheesecloth. Spitz around the base. Nothing will eat or dig around your plants..

Well the cats should keep the mice away..

I'll try that. By cats I mean the catac@ckapillars. Might work on them too. Can I spray the leaves with it?
 
I would not spray leaves.

Moths are almost done messing with plants in Canada.

1st i would do is put 4 tall poles on perimeter of plant. You can use it to place net around plant. End of july, take netting off. Those 4 poles can be used for a dew shield in late flower made of clear plastic roof. It prevents evening and morning dew and reduces mold.
