Colorado Potato Beetle

Wi-sunflower · July 2, 2009

Most years the Colorados can be a real pest on our Eggplants. But we usually don't plant out a whole lot of them compared to our other crops.

This year there are Colorados all over the tomato plants we managed to get in about a month ago. Some plants are going to be defoliated soon if we don't do something.

The problem is WHAT.

Most insecticides work only so-so on Colorados.

Does anyone have anything they've used with decent effect on Colorado larvae ??
