I dont know how to get rid of 'em,I let bugs get on my plant;I only care when they eat the leaves.When that happens I use Sevin on them.

well im going to town later, first im going to try a alcohol spray... with rubbing alcohol mixed with water... I did make a lemon spray it semmed to help but i ran out and it takes forever to make.... but besides that theirs a concentrated product from bayer that yyou spray all over and it kills things and you can use it on veggies! so maybe ill use that... I cant use sevin dst becuase their on the bottome of the leaves and to put it on the bottom of every leave that would be extremely hard.... theirs 5 bushes that are connected and their new leaves and stuff so yea...

The bugs on the bushes are dead enrique and others that want to know... Theie is a few left alive but im giving th spray a rbeak it says to only use once a week but since it was a havy infestation ill do it again on wedsday... then that should be over. I also took the oputunity to thin out some of the criss crosing brances and pluck off the damaged or discolored leaves.... Wow though i cant imagine i havent noticed all the bugs before this though.... wow.... glad i got to it just in time idk what wouldve happned if i wouldve waited...

Enrique u know how u said u use seven dust. Well i found a seven liquid concentrate... so yea i used that and i took the liberty to spray all my other plants as well.. I think its the same stuff the stores use because it creates that white milky residue u know?.... well anyways think for the tip about the seven...
