Answers:
Apply insecticide powder


Soapy water usually works for bugs, a half and half mixture. Also a product called Simple Green which is a soap and does not harm plants.
doxies got it !! simple.
spray leaves with soap and water, It is best to try and do this in the morning before it gets to hot.
I've read that dawn dish soap deters bugs, but I'd try a bug killer from your local home and garden.
