Thank you, I'll give it a try if the plant gets desperate in a month. Also ty for the chart, all those methods are helpful during veg, but when you come across this pest, you'll realize it's not just in a 100 foot radius of your garden. They multiply and are everywhere (literal hundreds in packs) within a 20 mile radius. Even if you eradicate them, new ones will come back, and they'll come back stronger in their adult phase with wings during flowering. What do we do? Will oxiphos and zerotol work considering they're not insecticidesI'd go with OxiPhos over ZeroTol, has phosphorous acid as well as hydrogen peroxide.
Phosphorous acid is a systemic application for preventing mold, as well as a contact killer for bacteria and mold.
I killed a red one (stage 4, just before adult phase) an hour ago. I slapped it while it was on the ground hard, I moved my hand and it hopped 4 feet away, nearly uninjured. I chased it for 5 minutes, when it returned to flatter ground near my peppers, I used my slipper and got it. It's FAST, and strong
