Looking for some Organic Control
Quote from Jackie French "Natural Control of Garden Pests"
Preadtors birds,assassin bugs,soldier beetles, mantids
User diatomaceous earth : Derris dust or pyrethrum.
Not sure about any of those like to keep the other insects around which there are many. Might need to just mechanically clear them, though they breed pretty fast.
