My garden of squash, pumpkins, bell peppers, peas, tomatoes, and green beans has just begun to grow. The bugs get to them immediately when they are just a few inches high.
How do I get rid of the insects eating the leaves on all my garden plants? I never see any bugs except ants.?
Soap spray works well. Just regular liquid dish soap w/ water in a spray bottle. You have to actually spray the bugs for it to work, just spraying the leaves won't do much, so spray in the early morning or evening when the bugs are out (they usually hide during the day because of the heat).
Reply:There are soap sprays that are safe to use on these plants and will help control your problem. I know Lowes carry the soap sprays. You may have to apply often to keep these pest from returning to their buffet. Good Luck!

Reply:Most bugs are nocturnal. Go out at night with a flashlight and see what you can find, then treat the particular insects with the appropriate insecticide.
Reply:Go to you'r local petstore and buy a bunch of ladybugs.They work like nothing you have ever seen and they don't touch or harm you'r plants.
Reply:I found it wasn't bugs eating the leaves off my green beans but lizards!!! LOL, they stripped the leaves and left these young puny stringbeans on a bare stem!!!!
