A fairly easy solution that might just work is to spray the plants with
soapy water. I'm not sure if it makes the leaves taste bad or if It
gives the bugs diarrhea, which kills them. I prefer to assume the
former . I've used it for a broad variety of plants, including
vegetables. If it rains, you may have to re-apply if the bugs come
back.



Good advice thanks Nick - I'll give a go!
