Post by: Celtic Eagle on July 03, 2006, 12:41

Ok

I give up just can't catch and squash them all also have you seen the sort of maggot things they lay on the plants yeauch!!!!!  Time to bring in the big guns I'm afraid . So anyone know a chemical first strike deterrent for these beetles or am I stuck with them?
