Japanese beetles- best way to get rid of them?
Comments (23)JB are a real problem in the coastal south east. The grubs feed on grass roots. Then the moles feed on the grubs. These 2 activities alone cause majore damage to lawns. Add to that the neighbors dog trying to track down the moles by digging up the yard. Thats 3 forms of damage just in the larval stage. I read about a product several years ago called "Milky Spore" I never used it due to the high cost, at that time I had very little to spend. Milky spore is said to be a biological agent that will cause death to it's off spring and lasts for many years in the soil. Sort of like a parasitic attack I think. The article I read was from my local extension service. I have seen the product on shelves in the stores. The article mentioned this product works best when used community wide. If you have killed off the grubs in your yard thats good. But you can still have problems with the adults flying in from the neighbors yards. So why don't I use it now? well I don't live on the coast and they are not a problem here....See MoreWhat's the best way to get rid of bindweed???
Comments (219)I have lots and lots of bindweed all in my pachysandra and have come up with a solution to killing it without killing the pachysandra. I do use round up on the foam spray setting. First I gather up as many strands as I can in one clump andI put in into a slit in paper plate that I have cut one slit to the middle. It opens easily to put the bindweed on the plate . Then I spray it on the plate carefully using the foam setting. When dry I remove the plate and leave the weed for several weeks so it can get dead to the root. I will also try this on creeping Charlie. I have also used canes for the bindweed to crawl up and also tried putting a clump in a Baggie and the spray inside bag with roundup. That works but the paper plate is so much easier.Hope this helps someone else. I feel like I am going to get control after several years and hundreds or thousands of these vines!! lenette...See MoreHow do I get rid of Mold?
Comments (4)eliminating the moisture source is the first step. otherwise you just keep cleaning the symptom and never address the problem. mold needs moisture and a food source. this can be the paper on a fg batt, the backing of sheetrock..2x, lots of things. clean, replace or remediate the food source after stopping moisture source. put things back together....See MoreHow do I get rid of Mold(?) on shrub?
Comments (11)Well no, you should get a positive ID for the pest, then select a control regimen. Not the other way around. Is there not some expert in your area that can make a correct diagnosis for a few bucks? Treating when you don't know what you are treating is another thing that does not compute for me. As I said, mealy bug is a greenhouse pest in all but the most tropical of places. Cottony scales of many species exist and I suspect this is what you have there. So, if you are able to make certain of that, then you can reach for suggested control regimens. But you're trying to do it backwards....treat the problem, then try and figure out what it is. That's bound to fail. Many types of scale insects can be controlled with horticultural oil. Timing of application can matter, as it is the "crawler" stage of these insect, basically the immature moving to set up shop somewhere on the plant.=, where they are moist vulnerable. But the oils can work even without this timing, because they can smother the insects and in some cases, even their eggs. So that might be one thing you can do, but really, you need to first identify what you are seeing....See Moretrinityklm
