Frillylily said:I use Sevin, it works, I only spray the plants that actively have lots of beetles. Don't spray the others because bees may visit those and you are only after the beetles.
Frillylily said:either place, it's super common. Walmart ect. Some of it is concentrate, as always be sure to mix and spray according to directions-in other words not too strong. I find that if I mix it on the weak side, it does fine. They are sensitive to it. I just spray about 2x a wk unless it rains. A fine mist over the entire bush works. You don't spray the ground or anything like that, just the leaves.
Frillylily said:well well well you solved one of MY mysteries... I didn't know that about the leaf burn and I had that happen and didn't know what caused it
