Question From: Sherborn, Massachusetts, United States
Q: Hi Nancy, Each summer the petunias I keep in pots on my porch attract a very small, pale green worm which eats holes in the buds as they're forming resulting in flowers that have holes in them. There are poppy seed sized droppings from the bugs all over the plant.. Once in a while I see one and kill it. Why does it keep happening and how do I treat the plant? Thanks
A: I recommend you spray them with Captain Jack's Dead Bug Brew by Bonide every seven to 10 days until you see no more damage or critters. The good news is this is a an environmentally kind product when used according to package directions, so read and follow them carefully. Best And Happy Yardening, Nancy.
