Spider mites on crinums

Mealy bug on bamboo

Leaf cutters on sea grapes

Some worm/larva in wood of potted plumeria

Scale on sugar cane and bamboo

Mites on a banana

Black mold and white flies on sea grape and arboricola

Aphids on butterfly weed buds



Ants largely to blame

If you're not part of the solution, you're part of the precipitate.

Ive been fighting almost all of the above in my vegetable garden while trying to stay 'organic'. Organic choice Sevendust ($7 at wal-mart) has helped but worms have come back and are tunneling through the squash, zuchinni, and some tomatoes. Im going to apply more tomorow and see what happens. Good luck with your pests.

JLC, have you tried spinosad, BT or pyrethrum against the worms or caterpillars yet.

I let possums live in my yard. Shouldn't I? What are the problems with having them around?
