Comments (3)Look there is a ton of pestisides you could use. I have no idea what they are.

They will only keep coming back so you need to build your plants immune systems up so much that they are not susceptible to any kind of prob. (A good compost tea can do just that) BTW Garlic oil is a good pestiside but a little pricey....See MoreInsect identification- orange body, black legs
