Don’t forget to treat your soil too or you will be wasting your time.

I tried that stuff it didn’t work for me. I just used sticky tape around the trunk of the plant to stop them from claiming up.

You can try this if it gets out of control.

Captain Jacks is alright if the natural bugs aren’t being effected. Introduce a mantis or two. They will chomp on a few lady bugs but overall its a win win.
