ARMY WORMS!!!!

Phil · May 24, 2012

Just got home a bit ago and checked my plants.. one of my younger ones was almost completely decimated, and my girlfriend noticed a big, fat army worm laying in the soil beneath it. Guess he got so full he fell off and went deaux deaux. What's the best remedy to keep these nasty buggers off of my peppers? And will that also keep aphids off? Thanks in advance!

I also just noticed a few of those evil things chewing on plants and hanging from trees. I sure hope it's not gonna be one of those years!

They have it at Home Depot sometimes, local nurseries and hydro shops should have it too.
