abhege said:Spinosad sounds like a great solution. I would have to be careful because it is toxic to bees when wet, spray EARLY morning, but her suggestion if injecting wouldn't bother them. If you try it I'll be curious how well it works.


I have been spraying with Neem. I use it late in the afternoon towards early evening when the bees are gone. But I have Spinosad, not found of the idea of spraying with it, would rather use the Neem. However I do like that injection idea.

Hopefully I will not need the injections but it is good to know. And I check for eggs on the plants at least twice daily. I don't see any and I look carefully and hopefully have not missed any.
