Leaf Footed Bug Nymphs

MikeInCypress · April 22, 2012

I have discovered some of these the last two days. It is funny how they seem to congregate at the same area every year. This year I moved all the copntainers around and still I found the nymphs on plants at the ends of two rows of containers/pots. Thats where they always show up first. I put down 2 new blue plastic tarps and set the containers on the tarps so I don't have grass and weed problems.

I just grabbed a paper towel and sort of wiped the tomatoes that were harboring the nymphs. I was able to kill quite a few doing this. I was wondering if anyone has tried this to suck them up? Lentek BV02 9V Mini Bug Vac Hand Held Electronic Spider & Insect Trap at http://www.allbrands.com

These bugs are such a nuisance.
