Screen out, or repel the budmoth before she lays eggs.

They are nocturnal and seldom seen, but since I started laying dryer sheets on my soil, I have seen no budworms 4' above the soil!
So it now seems that the sheets are effective against moths too

Probably the safest, pleasantest, and most effective remedy that I've ever seen.:thumbsup:
And very affordable.

One sheet repels whitefly, flying root aphids, fungus gnats, roaches, wasps, hornets, mosquitos, and apparently, budmoths, for months.

Meanwhile, keep hand picking.
There are probably still some eggs yet to hatch
I used to use jewelers tweezers to limit damage to the trichs.
But now, no worms.

Wanna buy some used tweezers?

Dryer sheets?!?! Get out!! I'm on it yo! Hate to be so nosy but-
was 4' the max height of yours? is that how you came up with that #? My ladies are 5'+ and I'd like to save my top from that disaster too...
Anywho, we shall see! BIG ups for the tip Weezard!!:jointsmile:
