My hostas, Sunflowers, Morning Glories, ETC. All the leaves are being eaten by some kind of bug. What can I spray on it that is BIRD friendly and won't kill the plant?

Sevin-10 Bug Killer Dust. It will not harm pets and it doesn't hurt the plants.

Hahaha, heya there Bon!!! Small world...hehehe. If only your problem are aphids, and some small red spiders then it could have been easier to threat them with ordinary liquid soap mix with water and spray on the leaves, But I am not sure what kind of bugs you got in your plants. Usually Seven is use for a broad spectrum plant bugs, but this chemicals are not environment friendly, I know it could kill bees, that's why if you use it, be sure not to spray the flowers.

be certain there is not any water status stagnant everywhere contained in the proximity on your backyard. Even a associates pool can charm to them. Water status in empty flower pots. or maybe a close-by pond. ?? Marigolds repel mosquito's. also for a short possibility-free option to sprays.....Avon's skin So smooth works and so does rubbing dryer sheets on earlier being out. also Lemon Eucalyptus Oil.

You can goto to your local farm and garden store or walmart and get some (seven dust) to sprinkle on them. It will not hurt your plants. You can also boil hot peppers in water then spray it on your plants.

Liquid soap diluted with water should do the trick.
