With the use of greensafe foliar spray when used cucumber beetles and slugs don’t like the taste of the leaves and will not eat the leaves but they do still eat flowers so we lay out some petals on the leaves arround the outside of the patch for them to hide under making them easy to pick off,caught over a thousand that way.
As for the vinebore they were easy to catch picked off one to ten each day for three weeks total of about 100
I finally gave up and used seven for stink bugs and the nymphs that were hatching out.I could not figure out a pattern to catch them
The greenhouse seems to be a motel magnet for all these bugs while the netting has nowhere near the number of invaders no vinebore no stink bugs and only a few beetles.
