Cute though the little buggers may be, they're eating up my platycodon buds before they even bloom. Any tips to get rid of them? I tried spraying with a basic pesticide..no luck.

 

Don't know why my little pic isn't showing up

 

You suck at interweb...

 

I fail at internet today, I guess.... Thanks doopstr!


Nice edit!

 

They usually hang out around the same area. I usually just go in and hunt them down. Sometimes the suckers lay eggs and the little guys will crawl all over the place too.

 

What kind of dinosaur is a "platycodon"?

 

I thought she was referring to a female body part

 

When I was little, I used to grab them by their wings and keep them as pets. Now I am scared as shit when a grasshopper is hopping around.

Just wafflestomp them.

 

Well fawk.

 

Care to elaborate? Otherwise, it may be taken by some as an invitation.

 

^As in well fawk, i was hoping for something more useful. A magic cure that didn't involve hunting them down and murdering them individually. I'm more into mass murder when it comes to insects.

 

wants to know if you googled "Grasshopper insecticide" or "Grasshopper control".

 

Who needs google when you have AZ?

 

wants to know when svtmike became such a bitter old fart.

 

He is 43

 

right around the time you became a smart-mouth whipper snapper.

did you take care of the locust problem in your woman parts?

 

Ah! 20-some-odd years ago, then....


Nope - too busy this week. Maybe next week. Maybe.

 

wndrlst, unrelated, but what exactly is going on in your avatar. Its funny because I was at a pool gathering yesterday and someone there said they had hit a deer, WITH A BOAT IN HE WATER!??!? Couldnt believe it.

 

That is odd! It's just a swimming horse with a man holding onto the halter.
