| Leafrollers are almost impossible to beat. The leaves shed most anything you spray or sprinkle on them. And the leaf roller moths are present all season. So one spraying won't stop them. They'll find somewhere else to lay a few eggs and those will hatch and come and invade your gardens. It's a season long battle. Are your leaves sewn shut? Do you see silken threads tying them closed? If so, the moth has been there and laid her eggs. If you don't see threads, it's probably not leaf rollers. You can cut the leaves off and the plant will regrow and bloom. Or you can break the threads and open the leaves and pick off the leafrollers. If you have a pond with fish, toss the leafrollers in there. The fish love them. Do NOT compost the leaves or you simply perpetuate the problem. Bag them to be hauled away from your property. Hope this helps. |
