AS an Arborist , I am constantly looking for all types of destructive insects in my plants , one of best control concepts is understanding the over wintering of each insect. This will allow you to be proactive in minimizing these little buggers populations lol.
Good thought on learning their patterns The Rusted Garden Vegetable Seeds & Home Garden Supplies: www.therustedgarden.com Earn 15% and become a TRG Affiliate for our seed & garden shop Sign Up Here: bit.ly/4aarkDD
Id love a general overview of this winter kill! Anything on TH-cam that would help know how to get the little buggers BEFORE planting? It's a battle where I am!
Early spring - after last frost and weather is acceptably warm, treat with beneficial nemetodes from Arbico Organics. Will take out larval stages of all the beetles.

Rebecca Hanson just did a video on the lantern flies. Apparently devasting for grape vines and her farm has a vineyard. Anyway, she has some really good pictures of this little monster!! I also want to say thank you for the time it takes to zoom in on the bugs. I appreciate the extra effort for us. 🤩
Black with white spots are the hated spotted lantern fly in nymph stage. Get rid of them as fast as you can. I’ve tried sticky tape but, there are problems with that. I’m vacuuming them now. Good luck!!!

Awesome video, Gary! You identified a new insect for me: flea beetles! No one at the garden stores knew what was causing the pinhole damage to my tomato leaves. Now I know to use insect dust to treat them. Your videos are my go-to source for all things gardening! Thank you so much!

This year, I rigged up a frame using extra posts/stakes and overlayed greens tulle to keep (hopefully!) the cabbage butterflies off my cabbages and kale. Last two year they wreaked havoc so hopefully this tulle does the trick.

I agree with you on cabbage worms. I've used BT with success for years. This year I had planned on just trying a row cover, but life got in the way, and I'm not doing a lot of brassicas this year. So that idea will be shelved until next year. Harlequin Beetles are the bane of my garden. They do almost as much damage as rabbits. Unfortunately nothing kills them, including your suggestions. On potato beetles, I've found neem to be very effective. It's pretty much my go to when I see them. As for the other insects, I don't have any problems with them. Just as an FYI Bug-geta is VERY TOXIC to dogs! I lost a dog to it after I treated an area. I won't go into details about exactly what happened, because it's too painful, but she died a horrible death a few hours later. If you insist on using it, SUPERVISE your pet around that area for a few days after.
So Sevin Dust not organic, seems to kill the Harlequins every time I use it. The Rusted Garden Vegetable Seeds & Home Garden Supplies: www.therustedgarden.com Earn 15% and become a TRG Affiliate for our seed & garden shop Sign Up Here: bit.ly/4aarkDD

For potato bugs, I have found planting beans (specifically yellow and purple wax beans) between each potato row, close enough to touch, to eliminate the problem for me. I haven't seen a single potato bug in 7 years of doing this. Last year I had a forgotten potato plant grow on the other side of the garden where I had no beans and yep... the potato bugs found it and ate it. They left my other ones alone though. :)

This is my least favorite part of gardening pest pressure. I'm North of Harrisburg PA along the Susquehanna River 6b. I only just saw my 1st white butterfly (moth) yesterday. I have a small property and I was square foot gardening in raised beds but I'm spacing out farther apart this year because of last year it was too crowded and hard to fight the critters. Worms slugs snails 🐌. Thanks Gary good information here

I've had some success keeping slugs (massive pest in the swampland that is UK) away from my tomatoes, at least, by putting a copper mesh cage around the bottom of their stems. Next year, I'm adding copper mesh to the outside of all my grow beds.

Interesting video thanks. The fascinating thing for me is to hear how different our two languages are: American and English😉 I'm British and it would be easier for me right now to show how many beneficial insects there are in my garden. I know you are advising targeted solutions but dusting as you describe seems a little indiscriminate to me. I manage my lawn organically and allow many small species to flower either by by-passing them or leaving a good length of grass blade but it is still a lawn. I grow in the organic flower garden what does well there and don't worry about any pests. I mean if the pests eat it and it still did its job fine (because holes in Hosta leaves etc late on don't bother me) otherwise I would grow something else. My wildflower garden (a third of my garden) is under and surrounds five trees links my flower and my fruit and vegetable garden and is 100% organic as is the fruit and vegetable garden. I use on the vegetables nematode worms of different types applying three times in spring early summer and once in autumn. Netting is essential to protect against birds, butterflies and moths. When I find a snail I squash it slugs I chuck into the wild-flower garden but there are few of those. I accept some occasional small damage to vegetables but still generate a significant surplus.
Dust is indiscriminate but I often using it late evening, outer leaves away from flowers, and rinse it off early am. The Rusted Garden Vegetable Seeds & Home Garden Supplies: www.therustedgarden.com Earn 15% and become a TRG Affiliate for our seed & garden shop Sign Up Here: bit.ly/4aarkDD

Hi Gary! You went over the Colorado potato beetles- my potatoes (2- 20 gal grow bags) leaves are being eaten terribly! They’re very lacy, but I don’t see any potato bugs…I don’t see any bugs at all! What should I do? One bag should be flowering soon as I planted very early in a cold frame. Looks like I’ve got potatoes coming up- I’ve had to cover a couple with dirt! So the ones I’ve seen look healthy. Should I just not worry about it?

Thanks for this great video. I just put in my zucchinis and my goal is to control the vine borers. Would putting DE in the soil as I’m planting be a helpful preventative?
Only if the soil is bone-dry - DE doesn't work when wet. It is basically the shells of diatoms which are basically silica; as long as it's dry, it acts like microscopic shards of glass, cutting into the exoskeletons of insects which then leaves the insects dehydrating to death.
Not in the soil. DE is about grinding the joints of beetles. The Rusted Garden Vegetable Seeds & Home Garden Supplies: www.therustedgarden.com Earn 15% and become a TRG Affiliate for our seed & garden shop Sign Up Here: bit.ly/4aarkDD

What's a decent manual multipurpose garden duster? So should I dust in the evening and wash them down in the morning?

Reason, I have a bit of spoiled store bought milk and would like to know of alternative uses.
I dust evening and rinse in the early am. Not sure about the milk mixture. I dont have a duster. I just use the container they come in and dust.

In my world: Cucumber Beetles, Pill Bugs, Stink bugs, Flea Beetles, Japanese beetle, and, late in the summer, white fly. Also - late summer, grasshoppers - BIG, scary, ones. I can manage just about everything else - but grasshoppers make me crazy.
@@jennbasil Give them something else to go to. They were crawling all over the dirt in my rows gnawing down plants bigger than seedlings until I spread some wood mulch between the rows and they migrated to that.
The pickleworm is my nemisis. They don't just infest cucumbers, they infest summer squash too. They show up, just as the first fruit is ripening. There is nothing worse, than picking a cucumber or squash, and finding it is riddled with pickleworm holes with pickle worms eating the fruit from the inside out, except not seeing the bore hole, and biting into the fruit and getting a mough full of pickleworm surprise. LOL. The only thing I've found that works is regular treatments with Spinosad, or BT. I'm hoping it works for hornworms too. Last year, they devastated my tomato crop overnight. I had to remove four damaged dreveloping tomatoes because of cut worm damage, and found two cutworms. They've been terminated with prejudice.
I hear a lot about them. I am lucky to not have gotten them yet. The Rusted Garden Vegetable Seeds & Home Garden Supplies: www.therustedgarden.com Earn 15% and become a TRG Affiliate for our seed & garden shop Sign Up Here: bit.ly/4aarkDD

Where I'm from, that white butterfly is called "cabbage white". Its larvae are really caterpillars, rather than worms. Worms have no "feet" for traction; caterpillars do. The green caterpillar shown at 2:09 isn't the cabbage white's caterpillar; it's a brown moth's caterpillar. Cabbage white caterpillars are not plain green; they have some speckling in their colouring.

AS an Arborist , I am constantly looking for all types of destructive insects in my plants , one of best control concepts is understanding the over wintering of each insect. This will allow you to be proactive in minimizing these little buggers populations lol.
Good thought on learning their patterns

Id love a general overview of this winter kill! Anything on TH-cam that would help know how to get the little buggers BEFORE planting? It's a battle where I am!
Thank you for the information.
Early spring - after last frost and weather is acceptably warm, treat with beneficial nemetodes from Arbico Organics. Will take out larval stages of all the beetles.
Are you doing a series on beneficial insects? That is what I find most confusing. ❤

Rebecca Hanson just did a video on the lantern flies. Apparently devasting for grape vines and her farm has a vineyard. Anyway, she has some really good pictures of this little monster!! I also want to say thank you for the time it takes to zoom in on the bugs. I appreciate the extra effort for us. 🤩
They are so problematic and there are no organic solutions that work effectively right now.
Black with white spots are the hated spotted lantern fly in nymph stage. Get rid of them as fast as you can. I’ve tried sticky tape but, there are problems with that. I’m vacuuming them now. Good luck!!!

This year, I rigged up a frame using extra posts/stakes and overlayed greens tulle to keep (hopefully!) the cabbage butterflies off my cabbages and kale. Last two year they wreaked havoc so hopefully this tulle does the trick.

I agree with you on cabbage worms. I've used BT with success for years. This year I had planned on just trying a row cover, but life got in the way, and I'm not doing a lot of brassicas this year. So that idea will be shelved until next year.
Harlequin Beetles are the bane of my garden. They do almost as much damage as rabbits. Unfortunately nothing kills them, including your suggestions.
On potato beetles, I've found neem to be very effective. It's pretty much my go to when I see them.
As for the other insects, I don't have any problems with them.
Just as an FYI Bug-geta is VERY TOXIC to dogs! I lost a dog to it after I treated an area. I won't go into details about exactly what happened, because it's too painful, but she died a horrible death a few hours later. If you insist on using it, SUPERVISE your pet around that area for a few days after.
So Sevin Dust not organic, seems to kill the Harlequins every time I use it.

For potato bugs, I have found planting beans (specifically yellow and purple wax beans) between each potato row, close enough to touch, to eliminate the problem for me. I haven't seen a single potato bug in 7 years of doing this. Last year I had a forgotten potato plant grow on the other side of the garden where I had no beans and yep... the potato bugs found it and ate it. They left my other ones alone though. :)
Very interesting. Thanks,

Try using used coffee grounds to repel flea beetles. Mulch beneath the plants with it.
Does it work after they're already on them or on some of them?

This is my least favorite part of gardening pest pressure. I'm North of Harrisburg PA along the Susquehanna River 6b. I only just saw my 1st white butterfly (moth) yesterday. I have a small property and I was square foot gardening in raised beds but I'm spacing out farther apart this year because of last year it was too crowded and hard to fight the critters. Worms slugs snails 🐌. Thanks Gary good information here

Interesting video thanks. The fascinating thing for me is to hear how different our two languages are: American and English😉 I'm British and it would be easier for me right now to show how many beneficial insects there are in my garden. I know you are advising targeted solutions but dusting as you describe seems a little indiscriminate to me.
I manage my lawn organically and allow many small species to flower either by by-passing them or leaving a good length of grass blade but it is still a lawn. I grow in the organic flower garden what does well there and don't worry about any pests. I mean if the pests eat it and it still did its job fine (because holes in Hosta leaves etc late on don't bother me) otherwise I would grow something else. My wildflower garden (a third of my garden) is under and surrounds five trees links my flower and my fruit and vegetable garden and is 100% organic as is the fruit and vegetable garden. I use on the vegetables nematode worms of different types applying three times in spring early summer and once in autumn. Netting is essential to protect against birds, butterflies and moths. When I find a snail I squash it slugs I chuck into the wild-flower garden but there are few of those. I accept some occasional small damage to vegetables but still generate a significant surplus.
Dust is indiscriminate but I often using it late evening, outer leaves away from flowers, and rinse it off early am.

Hi Gary! You went over the Colorado potato beetles- my potatoes (2- 20 gal grow bags) leaves are being eaten terribly! They’re very lacy, but I don’t see any potato bugs…I don’t see any bugs at all! What should I do? One bag should be flowering soon as I planted very early in a cold frame. Looks like I’ve got potatoes coming up- I’ve had to cover a couple with dirt! So the ones I’ve seen look healthy. Should I just not worry about it?

Thanks for this great video. I just put in my zucchinis and my goal is to control the vine borers. Would putting DE in the soil as I’m planting be a helpful preventative?
Only if the soil is bone-dry - DE doesn't work when wet. It is basically the shells of diatoms which are basically silica; as long as it's dry, it acts like microscopic shards of glass, cutting into the exoskeletons of insects which then leaves the insects dehydrating to death.
Not in the soil. DE is about grinding the joints of beetles.

anything to prevent HORNWORM!
Dusts and spray will kill the young. It's hard to stop them from showing up.

Why do you rinse the dust off? I just realized you rinse so you don't kill the beneficial bugs, right?
Yeah I try and keep it on when good guys are less active, night.

Do you put the insect dust and other things on the plant or on the ground near the plant?
Goes on the leaves. Where they crawl. Ground is okay too.

Gary, those black with white spot bugs on your Muscadines are immature Lantern Flies! Invasive and they tend to be devastating to crops. Not beneficial. I have seen them on my grape vines as well.
Oh, just kept playing the video and saw you identified them. nice!

What's a decent manual multipurpose garden duster?
So should I dust in the evening and wash them down in the morning?
I heard using milk mixed with X & X during the heat of the day is a good insecticide. Is that true? Or should I just dump it into the compost pile? Reason, I have a bit of spoiled store bought milk and would like to know of alternative uses.
I dust evening and rinse in the early am. Not sure about the milk mixture. I dont have a duster. I just use the container they come in and dust. I have heard milk can be sprayed as fungicide but have tried it a lot.

Gary, I have 2 raised planters that I plant my scarlet runner beans in every year! They have done great every year except this year! One box has a small amount of damage, the other young tender plants have been destroyed!! I just can't figure it out? Little tiny holes, some leaves are totally gone? Can you please help me?? I can't find anything on the plants.
Not sure without out pictures but can be slugs. I would just replant and put a dust of your choice on them. Keep a look out for clues.

My vegetable garden is adjacent to my "native plant/butterfly garden" and I have never had to treat my plants for insects. Maybe that's because of where I live, maybe not, but I usually just let nature take it's course, and I don't have any big problems. The only real threat to my plants is rabbits.
If only it worked that way all the time. All gardens are different.

@@THERUSTEDGARDEN Obviously it doesn't work that way for everyone. I was stationed in your area many years ago and I remember how humid the summer was. I'm sure you deal with way more than I have to worry about in the upper midwest.
I have a pill bug infestation this year and they love to eat my strawberries. I treated with bait. I think the same stuff that kills slugs. Did you ever use surround to treat beetles? I'm trying it on my eggplants this year to see how it works. I know what you're talking about with those horrible flea beetles. I never tried spinosad but do want to get some.
I havent tried Surround but people give it good reviews.

I call them annihilators! They have destroyed both of my broccoli plants and my bok choy 🥬 I also have these black furry spiders that have two white stripes on them that that have infested two of my green stalks and today I found a few across my garden in my tomatillo bed. I’ve used the BT AND NEEM OIL and they are still in my green stalks. Any suggestions on how to get rid of them are welcomed 🙏🏼🥬🕷️🕷️😵💫
The bugs are the reason why I only grow salad greens indoor hydroponically 😢 I don’t want my salad to get bug bites or sprayed with chemicals 😢

In my world: Cucumber Beetles, Pill Bugs, Stink bugs, Flea Beetles, Japanese beetle, and, late in the summer, white fly. Also - late summer, grasshoppers - BIG, scary, ones. I can manage just about everything else - but grasshoppers make me crazy.
Hate and afraid of little green ones n old big ones
I've just had some pill bugs eat my little seedlings that were just popping up. Never have had that before. Little jerks.
@@jennbasil
Give them something else to go to. They were crawling all over the dirt in my rows gnawing down plants bigger than seedlings until I spread some wood mulch between the rows and they migrated to that.
@@reibersue4845 thank you for the tip! I appreciate it! 💜
I dont mind the grasshoppers for some reason. But we dont typically get many.
Thanks!
Very Appreciated!
The pickleworm is my nemisis. They don't just infest cucumbers, they infest summer squash too. They show up, just as the first fruit is ripening. There is nothing worse, than picking a cucumber or squash, and finding it is riddled with pickleworm holes with pickle worms eating the fruit from the inside out, except not seeing the bore hole, and biting into the fruit and getting a mough full of pickleworm surprise. LOL. The only thing I've found that works is regular treatments with Spinosad, or BT. I'm hoping it works for hornworms too. Last year, they devastated my tomato crop overnight. I had to remove four damaged dreveloping tomatoes because of cut worm damage, and found two cutworms. They've been terminated with prejudice.
I hear a lot about them. I am lucky to not have gotten them yet.

Where I'm from, that white butterfly is called "cabbage white". Its larvae are really caterpillars, rather than worms. Worms have no "feet" for traction; caterpillars do. The green caterpillar shown at 2:09 isn't the cabbage white's caterpillar; it's a brown moth's caterpillar. Cabbage white caterpillars are not plain green; they have some speckling in their colouring.

Hello, Gary! Lovely garden. I want to mention that the tiny black/white insects are baby lantern flies!!
My hubby uses a salt gun to kill them. They get faster as they grow. Good luck!! My beans and peas leaves are being eaten. Hope to clear this up!
