The good news is there are some really great companies selling predators to prey on the little cockaroaches messing with my babies !!!

I saw these little a-holes four or five days ago & have been manually removing the affected leaves & foliaring with my own essential oil blends. Was helpful in keeping the numbers down. Very hopeful all my new friends will teach them a lesson & poop them out in my dirt!
