I have spittle bugs at the base of most of my strawberries. What is safe to
use? I have sprayed with a sharp stream of water and washed some off, but
the next day they are back or more are there. I don't want to kill the
strawberry plants. They are just starting to ripen.
I have them planted in raised beds and this is the second year in the
ground.
Thanks

I get spittle bugs on my dittany...
I just ignore them because they've never caused any damage to these
plants. I just spray them off with the hose when I hand water.

I don't know much about them, are they damaging the plants at all?
