Try a godfrey's special if you don't have an old one. empty into an old plastic shopping bag, knot and stomp on it. Best toxic substance is confidor. They fall dead out of the tree rather quickly. so do a pile of other beneficial insects for years afterwards. Note, if they are visiting your neighbourhood enmass(had that 2 years ago) you need everyone around to take action. |

If you can vacum them up, it is certaily better but two years ago the whole neighbourhood was crawling with them and it was a loosing battle and they were badly affecting both trees. so it was used as last resort. East to detect, just thump the branch and they pong, then seek and vacumn. they also get annoyed when you mow under the tree or spray water o e leaves. Spotting them is the hard thing. |

Some uneducated arsehole must have found the local bee hives near my place and nuked them because there are very few bees (both honey bees and native bees) about this year (Hills district in Sydney). Hence the yield of fruit and veges that I grow is way down on last year. :-( |

hi
It seems like every morning I awaken and also have to pick two or three from the unpleasant issues from my personal beard in front of the mirror. Men, can there be any way to ensure that they're through moving to your facial hair when you rest? |
