Some people advise spraying liquid dish washing soap on them. And repeat after each rain shower.

depends on the bug....rose chafers are a pain, and they don't just wreck roses. they come out in early june here, (wisconsin), last a few weeks, and then fade away again, but they're wicked! they eat the foilage on several of my plants every spring. there's lot's of sprays that will kill the chafers that are on the plant at the time, but within a day or two, they'll be back. i hand pick them off my plants twice a day. time consuming? yes. Worth it? Depends on how much they're ticking you off. hard to find a good picture of a rose chafer online, as they start the season a light tan/brown, and turn a bronzish red color a few weeks later before they start to disappear for the year, and so look at several pictures before you decide it's not a rose chafer.

yes, had the same problem and there is a garden spray that is for aphids, termites and wood beetles that will not harm plants but will keep the beatles and catapilliars off of them. this should take care of the problem.. Usually about 12 dollars or so at your local hardware or home depot stores. Read the labels and the list should include the catapillar, beetle, wood beetles and termite as part of the insects that it prevents against.

Planting little green onions around the other plants keeps out a lot of the bugs. For some reason, they don't like them. It doesn't work on all pests, unfortunately.

severe-high quality hat all people ever permit you recognize which you bare a awesome resemblance to Natalie Portman? i myself do no longer know approximately that bugs are stressful and rightfully need to be pummeled right into an insignificant afterthought whilst they are left a bloody mess. it quite is like this. this is the way it is going down. i'm the middle-piece of a portrait being stricken by employing nagging bugs. whilst, one insect is calling one way and the different insect is calling any incorrect way. the two questioning on how they are gonna mess with me. To further make sparkling one is calling East the different is calling West and that i'm precise ineffective interior the middle. to maintain me from being a canvas of their nagging I swat them to their inevitable deaths and that i seem out at my public with a facial expression that reads, "Whaddya want from me." It purely is a fact of life no longer purely homicide, yet homicide for the excellent reason :).

there are many pest control agents formulated out there, but you can make your own... take a spray bottle and fill it up with 2 cups of water, then take 2 table spoons of tapatio, or tabasco sauce and mix it in with the water, spray generously on leaves and that should STOP your problem.

It's probably Japanese beetles. Give your neighbors traps as a gift...never put a trap in your yard unless it's WAYYY far away from your plants.

Spray them with Spectracide. That gets rid of every kind of bug. You can buy it at Home Depot.
