Thanks all - some very helpful information! Having never used any pesticides or herbicides in nearly 40 years of gardening I would like to avoid this route if possible. I will conduct some experiments tomorrow with a spray of hot pepper and garlic sauce, perhaps with some molasses and vinegar. If this doesn't work I'll give neem oil a shot, and then go from there. Thank goodness they haven't bothered my tomatoes - that would be war!!
