My builder uses Houzz Pro to plan the timeline and give detailed estimates and daily updates with photos of progress, and provide invoices at pre-agreed key points in the build. This made the whole experience much more efficient and stress-free.

Anyone Know How To Control Those Fat Ugly Caterpillars ?

22 years ago

I hate seeing those black caterpillars on my impatiens.

They make the impatiens look terrible and shabby.

I was lucky that I was wearing gloves when I was prunning them because one of them sprayed my glove with a greenish liquid, I guess if it touched the skin it would probably make it itchy or develop a rash.

How does everyone else deal with these nasties ?
