They're moving into my patch. Has anybody ever had to deal with these guys? Any recommendations on how to get rid of them?

Thanks

I have used garlic powder spread around the plants with great success, as long as you don't mind the smell.

I live in Canada so pesticides are banned here, well, the ones that work. I'll try garlic powder. Thanks. Oh, and I do I also spread it on the leaves or is this on the ground only?

Thanks

Mosquito Barrier (heavy duty garlic spray)you can get from Rittenhouse will deter them. Also Neem oil seems to work, you can get that at Rona and other places. Not much else unless you go shopping across the border ;)

Triazicide is off the self from Home Depot, Lowe's wal-mart.

I'll check Home Depot but my gut feel is that it's banned in this country

Home depot will have products with permethrin...that will work as long as you make sure you have contact with whatever you want to eliminate.

I'm using that MOSQUITO BARRIER (99.3% garlic), so far it's working great. These days I do read directions and follow them.

I've been dusting with Sevin, seems to help. Good luck.

Sevin Ready-To-Spray works great.
