I thought that they were such cute little bugs when I first saw them.
My attitude has changed since they have turned the leaves of my
eggplants into lace. I'm planning to use the following recipe but it
won't be ready until tommorrow.

Garlic/Pepper Mixture
? 1/2 cup hot peppers of your choice
? 1/2 cup garlic cloves ( onions will also do )
? 2 cups water
Steep this mixture for 24 hours. An easy method for steeping the tea is
to combine the ingredients in a clear glass jar, seal, and set in a
sunny location. Strain and spray onto foliage.


Additionally, I check out the nursery for nematodes today. Any other
ideas?

My god I hate those little *******s!!! I actually mix the pyrethrum before I
go to plant my eggplant. One thing I've heard of but not used is the
cardboard/tanglefoot trap. Take 2 yellow squares of cardboard tack to 2
paint paddles and lightly coat with tanglefoot. walk slowly down the row
holding the squares on either side of the plants. Supposedly the little
beggers will jump to the cardboard.
