ANSWER: The first thing you have to do when you see them is to clip
them off the branches, put in a bag and take them somewhere to burn
them. Afterwards you need to spray the plants with an insecticide, such
as Monterey Garden Insect Spray, about once every 30 to 45 days.
Usually, you'll only need to do this two times per growing season.
Follow the direction on the bottle to make sure your particular plants
are okay with the chemical.

And don't put them in you purse or front pocket(for men).
