go to any hardware store, or nursery, and purchase an insecticide for FRUITS AND VEGETABLES (these types of insecticides, usually pyrethrins, break down into harmless compounds after a couple of days, and are safe for ingestion) ... some recommend neem oil, but that is a repetitive hassle, and not all that effective, from what I've personally seen ... I ain't no treehugger, poison the bastards ... :dance:
