Sevin will work for them, or anything stronger. Can be bought at most garden centers as well as HD/Lowes.

I'd look for a product with bifenthrin as the active.

I use Triazicide available at Home Depot. I mix it at the recommended rate and spray it on every part of the plant.

i bought 5 bottles of garlic powder today.

i sprinkled all the leaves with 1 bottle and stille had some left.

i am sure if it rains, i will have to redo but that is fine, it is cheap.
