My lilies were also infested with the things last year, what a mess
they make, however I have just started to keep bee's, so I was
reluctant to spray them with an insecticide.
I checked on Google, vinegar and sunflower oil were mentioned, cant
remember if it meat either or mixed, anyway I ended up mixing them and
I havnt seen one of the red devils in the last ten days, fingers
crossed !
Hmm. Has anyone tried neem oil on them? We have a sprayer full, for the
chickens. May have to give it a go.
