Ok, so first I have aphids, and ants as a result of that. Then, I get cucumber beetles. NOW, I see a new bug. I was gonna ask what it was, but I was just browsing buglady's site, and sure enough, there was my critter. A weevil. Evil is more like it. They look creepy!! I've seen a couple of them the past few days. It's bad enough I have to *like* the bees now, but dang, all these other bugs, they are making it harder for someone like me, who generally has a set of black thumbs.

What do I do for *weevils*? Grrr.

Try soapy washes and very mild house plant insecticides. However, if you don't like chemicals, there are companies online that you can buy lady bugs and praying mantises from. You may not be wild about having more bugs, but these will eat all of the yucky ones that hurt plants. [thumb]
