mac Posted March 16, 2011 (edited) Im having some problems with Crusader Bugs on my young longifolia (killing off new growth), whats the best & safest way to dispose of the little bastards i tried picking them off by hand & drowning them but they spray you with stink are there any safe pesticides i can use around children & animals as the tree is in my front yard just now thought of using a rubber glove & just picking the bastards off by hand as its only the stink they spray that made me want to spray the bastards back Edit from what i have read they are common in Brisbane, i have never noticed them around here before this season Edited March 16, 2011 by mac Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
seanimus Posted March 16, 2011 (edited) Hello ,try getting a bunch of garlic cloves and chopping crushing in a spray bottle full of water and let it shake for a day or two with the odd soak, that should hopefully do the trick works for a lot of bugs Edited March 16, 2011 by seanimus Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
