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

Spray them with alcohol if they are that concentrated on your plants. It will evaporate right away, and they will be dead!

I hear they have beetle traps that really tear them up too.

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!
