Yeah, I don’t expect to control them at all. But I think I could slow them down enough with a battery-controlled vacuum to at least prolong the life of the foliage a little bit. And at least I will know that my potatoes will be dust free. I also foolishly planted my potatoes in the same place two years in a row. I know everyone says you’re not allowed to do this, but I like to “live dangerously” sometimes.

I’ve also found that laying hens won’t really eat the larvae/pupae (whatever they are) but that broilers will for some reason.
