I just use a dollar store mustard squirt container, fill it with about an inch of the powder, and poof! <br />You can get it at Lowes or home depot in a big bag, and it's completely organic. I use it inside the house, and it is fine even with my cats.<br />Try it, and see if you can get rid of those pests.<br />I love your blog, and read it every day.<br />Thanks.Janis Phttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16143945076538929235noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4049103935243328127.post-68978740361254824312018-07-13T19:57:48.602-05:002018-07-13T19:57:48.602-05:00I love the look of those fabrics all joined togeth...I love the look of those fabrics all joined together - it's going to be such a wonderfully colourful quilt.

A soothing post to read until I got to the beetles. Amazing how they have stripped the foliage. We battle a weevil every year that gets into our spruce trees. We use a systemic to deter them. But with 28 trees in a row it never ends. <br /><br />JJMJJMhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10989370378727211794noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4049103935243328127.post-90627551506975649522018-07-13T09:16:32.469-05:002018-07-13T09:16:32.469-05:00Knock on wood I haven't seen any Japanese Beet...Knock on wood I haven't seen any Japanese Beetles.

We found a product at the big box stores called Bayer Shrub and Tree insect and feed. It is a systemic product. You use it once a year and it really works. It makes the trees and scrubs not taste good to the beetles. We used it n our rose of Sharon and not one leaf was eaten. It is under $15 a 2 quart sized container here. Hope that helps.Chris ps. I like your strata they are nice looking together. Stay cool Sewing Junkiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16848603221577664193noreply@blogger.com
