You mix it with water and spray it on the the plants. It's pretty cheap, seems to work, and the only drawback is that the natural stuff it's made of smells so bad to humans that I keep wanting to hold my breath.<br />Yesterday the electrician gave me another idea: Ivory soap. He said you soak your cake of soap in water and then spray it on. Can also put slivers of Ivory around the garden. Worth a try!Karin McAdamshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03887181011330946651noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5882975272447187416.post-38156681013005839262009-08-17T15:37:01.918-05:002009-08-17T15:37:01.918-05:00I'm not much of a vegetable gardener, more a g...I'm not much of a vegetable gardener, more a gardener of flowers, so unfortunately I have no ideas for keeping these party pests out. Just wanted to say thanks for visiting my blog, I really enjoy meeting new bloggers. This is such a fun community! Hope to see you around the blogosphere again. :) StephStephaniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00227138410417031980noreply@blogger.com
