And Squirrels even get a mention....
I was going to just make a comment on one of the comments to yesterday's diary entry, but it got so long I figured I should be better served to make it a diary entry of its own
Stink bugs, vine borer beetles, caterpillars, Oh My! All of those nasties can make your gardening life less than pleasant; they are really terrible to have get into your crops.
I use four main approaches and several other minor ones. The first two are simple, insecticidal soap and light-weight horticultural oil (also known as orchard oil) sprayed on the vines. The soap will kill the caterpillars - and any bug eggs! - which it gets on. The ones already inside the vine are not going to get hit with that (being already protected inside), so I follow up the soap spray with a goodly dousing of horticultural oil spray. The oil spray will fill up the hole they bored into, to begin with, and cover any other entry spots, cutting off oxygen to the insect inside the vine. The caterpillar will either die of asphyxiation inside the vine, or else bore its way out to get some air, where they become susceptible to being eaten by a bird or other insect, or getting the soap spray or more oil on them (killing them as well), or being exposed to one or more of the other two bullets in the anti-critter-pillar gun.
(See those two, and more, just below the "Great Orange Cheesy-Poof of Death!")
