he used a babys hair brush to scrub and paint his watermelon plants!!
and lay permrithin(sp?)soaked newspaper(unprinted is best) around the plant
on the soil.
i had a neighbor who used a weed torch and sheetmetal "screens" to scorch the soil!

Bang em with sevin or another insecticide containing permitherin (spelling not a strong pt;) Just a different spin on an isect, pretty easy to kill when young. I'd do it before you get a 'non mutant'. Mcpumpkin had a good idea with the news papers.

Permethrin is a synthetic pyrethrin. Also known as Astro or Pounce in their commercial forms. Fast!!!
