Those $#!* Colorado Potato Beetles - LuvWesties - 07-15-2007 Last year I was infested somehow with Colorado Potato Beetles. They killed 2 rose bushes, a 3-year old gorgeous Black Knight Butterfly Bush and my Hibiscus that was 2-yrs old! We sprayed what the garden center (not Lowes, or Home Depot) but a real place told us to use, nothing. I had hoped that the winter would kill the (insert your own explitive) things BUT they are BACK. Has anyone found a way to get rid of them? Or have any suggestions? Thanks Jeanne Re: Those $#!* Colorado Potato Beetles - KimmSr - 07-17-2007 First lets be sure we are talking about the same thing, a Colorado Potato Beetle http://www.ca.uky.edu/entomology/entfacts/ef312.asp or maybe a Japanese Beetle, http://www.ca.uky.edu/entomology/entfacts/ef409.asp I've not ever found the CPB on any plants other than potatoes, but the JB's do like any other plant that is under stress. |
