Default ants & beetles in corn

Try garlic tea, it will take care of most beetles. If that doesn't
work right away, use garlic/pepper tea. Last resort, because it
actually kills the bugs and also kills beneficial insects is
garlic/pepper tea with orange oil.


I have an ant invasion on my okra and I've tried everything I can think of.
Garlic/Pepper tea, the Howard Garrett recipe, doesn't even phase them.
