Any recommendations on what to use to get rid of army worms/caterpillars ? I found 3 this morning, and I'm sure I will find more tomorrow. They aren't to big but left unattended they grow real fast and do significant damage to the leaves.
Hi Mate, hand removal is the best way 'cause you never will find hundreds of them and and it's the least you can do for your girl.
Jokes apart, Bacillus Thuringiensis for prevention, Neem oil or natural pyrethroids for active fight. Good luck
Organic insecticides would be the quickest route but as brave said neem oil would be a good shout to deter them I would keep an eye out for moths too. I would be sure to give her a generous dose at all terminals to be most effective :)
Hi mate, neem oil should work great at detering those little critters. Even a chilli solution would work well but would probably need more of it. I hope this helps, good luck and happy growing
