| 1260433 | 2012-02-21 01:44:00 | I have a small bottle of TARGET distributed by Yates (my bottle is years old). I don't know if it is still available. Just mix up the spray with the right amount of spray fix and get busy. The little buggers - especially the "fluffy bums" (the young ones) just die, it's almost immediate. |

| 1260436 | 2012-02-21 04:43:00 | We've used Neem oil. Don't want anything more toxic on the fruit. Works, although they come back after a bit. Off next doors Jasmine. | pctek (84) | ||
| 1260437 | 2012-02-21 06:44:00 | Coincidence.... earlier today I ripped out three mature Robinia which were infested with literally millions of the sods. Took the trees and most of the hoppers to the tip. Don't seem to bother apples and plums much but do visit many of the vegies. Now sorting out what to replace the Robinia with. In previous years have tried all sorts of remedies, some of which sorted that year's crop of hoppers but they came back again each year | Scouse (83) | ||
| 1260438 | 2012-02-21 06:59:00 | I call them lacewings, but is that a different animal? Whatever, there are thousands of them in my garden too! They seem to mostly be on the orange blossom (Choysia) LL |
