over 2 weeks behind schedule, but you new they were coming sooner or later. saw 3 so far today...0 for 3 with fly swatters. might be the same one, but tonight with a cool night predicted, the plants will get a good coating of demand cs.

I seen one last week also Shazz, seems like when I see them the most its always in the heat of the day,(between 12 and 3 pm).
When I seen that SVB last week flying around I was following him like a mad man for 10 minutes going from plant to plant then leaf to leaf, and he wouldn't stay still long enough for me to kill em,,but he finally came to rest long enough on a big fat leaf and splatterd it with my hat! Although I damaged the leaf to it being almost unrecognizable , that's one SVB that wont be laying eggs on my plants anymore. But the exchange leaf for a SVB was well worth it,,,,LOL!!!

Shazz, Ill be damn if I just didn't see 3 SVB'S flying around the same plant about a hour after I posted here last, Ive never seen that many before together, hell, Ive never seen two of them together flying around before. I usually never had much problem with them (knock on wood) and only seen a few here and a few there in a entire season. Already this year I have seen more then I ever have . I think I'm in for a bad season with these SOB's.

brooks,
i got merit in the plant for what it is worth. and a good contact spray rotation of demand cs (same as warrior) and talstar one that i alternate every week once they are spotted or around 6-10. i have seen as many as 8-10 flying in one day in past years when they come out in full force and have killed over 30 in one year not counting hits that fly away half dead. a big pumpkin farm is about 3 miles away and that can't help. but since using the above rotation, i have never seen any damage from the sons of b's on any plants in over 4 years. fun still chasing them around eventhough you know they ain't no thang as long as you spray. check out my diary for my modified 3 foot long fly swatter i made today while chasing them around and breaking the fly swatter in half while trying to whack the crap out of one of them. lol. best of luck and stay on top them brooks,
shazzy
