how do I get rid of caterpillars on desert roses?
-
Cyndi Moore Tippett on Apr 07, 2013When I need to get rid of caterpillars, I have found you stand there flick them into a bucket of soapy water....I know it sounds daunting but I don't know any spray that will deter them. If they are in a web take a stick and open the webbing the birds will eat them.Helpful Reply

Douglas Hunt on Apr 08, 2013I think hand-picking them is generally the best solution as well, but you can also use Bacillus thuringiensis (B.t.).Helpful Reply
