Wow, you are infested. I would mix up a sprayer with Neem Oil and bacillus thuringiensis. That would certainly help. Spray weekly until things clear up.

I have used Surround WP for several years and its use has greatly reduced my pest issues. I strongly recommend it.

I first used it during a major Japanese beetle explosion one year; haven't seen anything like that again, thankfully. Those beetles skeletonized our young shade trees, roses, annuals, and vegetables ruthlessly.

The Surround stopped the feeding frenzy in its tracks and I simply began using it on the pest issues in the garden.

Now, I just apply it to my veggies to prevent (in my personal experiences) any kind of chewing or sucking insects, like JBs, squash beetles, stink bugs, leaf footed bugs, egg laying moths and butterflies and their caterpillars, leaf hoppers, flea beetles, grasshoppers, leaf miners, and more that I'm not remembering.

I also make darned sure that I have a coating applied in the hottest, sunniest part of the season to reduce heat and sun scald.

I don't need to use Bt anymore, and neem is only used on the annuals and perennials.

The Surround leaves a white coating after two or so applications. It's not beautiful, but does fade after several rains or careless overhead waterings. Produce can be harvested at any time and the coating can be washed off. Surround is OMRI organic.

Amazing photos!

Yeah that blue and yellow leaf hopper on my soy bean plant was super cool

I joked recently that I was more bug farming than gardening these days.

Heh

That leafhopper is a broad headed sharpshooter. What's your general location?

Yes, they are great images.....where did you find them?

One thing no one else has mentioned is old debris around the garden area. I had a lot of grasshoppers at one time and then the yard was infested with ticks and the dogs were bringing them in the house. The pest control people strongly recommended I remove all the leaf litter under bushes etc. That has helped a lot. Just another thought.
