Hi Again all,
Hornworms eh.....
All the leaves were taken from the stem on every plant except 4 now. Also
today 2 Pepper plants were stripped. Do they eat those as well? I'll have to
check for the buggers tommorrow morning when there is some light. I guess
I'll try the sevin....
Thanks
Craig

I thought malathion was less dangerous than Sevin? Seems to me
I remember reading it wasn't harmful to anything with a
functioning liver, as the liver converted it to something
harmless.
But Sevin is the best spray for cornsilks :-).
Malathion kills birds.
Sevin does not...
I lost some baby ducklings because my neighbor used Malathion for fire
ants and it washed into my yard during a rain. :-(
