Fireflashing those little buggah and incinerating them may possibly work, but it surely would bring deep satisfaction! Of course, the plants would be killed too. But just think about all those beetles destroyed! Yes, it might be worth it. I already have one of those weed dragons, so I plan to give it a go next time I see large populations of pests. Flea beetles. Aphids. Black onion aphids. Every time I remove infested plants, hundreds or thousands of those pests are knocked off and left behind in the garden. So now I'll try flaming them to death before pulling out the plants. I'll let you know how it works out. <br />Thanks for the suggestion!

It worked very well for tent caterpillars when they were on the end of a limb before they started to spread over the rest of the tree.HansMassagehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10789848416034379910noreply@blogger.com
