>You don't want Sevin on your food plants. Try BT (Bacillus Thuringiensis). Or poke them with something sharp if you don't have any chickens-g-. I heard somewhere (this thread?) that they show up real well under ultraviolet light. Thanks everyone for the suggestions. The wife wants chickens again anyway <g>. Anyone tried the UV trick? I assume the UV is to be used at nite? Finding them is the hard part of picking them off one by one. Can enough of them be pulled off individually to stop the attack? Sounds like my pepper plants are in danger also - will BT also work on them? Go WSP John
