I'm growing potatoes SO tasty, the worms are having some too!

in garden •  last year 

I've been warned off from the traps - supposedly they will attract every beetle for miles around. I'll give the alcohol a shot on my rhubarb first, since I don't need that as much as I need the sweet potatoes this year. Thanks for the info! Just straight alcohol?

I just use the 70% rubbing alcohol, added to neem oil. If the beetles all die, who cares? They compost fine I'm sure....

Maybe try a vacuum cleaner too? If there were that many, I bet it would lay waste to them! The little upolstery brush would loosen them up, and the vacuum will remove them.

If you had chickens, they eat Good, ROFLOL! I guess things can be a trial, and a mixed blessing....

Be blessed!
