Something is eating the leaves on my crepe myrtle. Any ideas on what I should use to protect them.

Sounds like it could be aphids. When it comes to aphids, these crepe myrtle pests need to be washed off the tree with a forceful water bath or spray. You can use an environmentally safe pesticide or insecticide to wash the tree along with water.
Good luck!
Buy Ladybugs! You can get 100's of them per container. My grandfather grew many varieties of plants and food and didn't use pesticides ... Ladybugs will kill all sorts of garden pests ... ALL natural too!
Thank you Shoshana!
