Then again, it may not work on a crustacean like a pill either, it depends on how advanced their regenerative capabilities are.

I can't say for sure that it's true, but I'm not willing to risk it, as bees are essential and we're clearly unintentionally killing them off with certain pesticides!

I'm pretty sure it does not. I may try some of that, and may try a garlic/pepper spray as well.Kevin Yhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12829180220934089635noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7963464493651286251.post-60433353922246952102013-01-30T18:33:47.198-08:002013-01-30T18:33:47.198-08:00I discoverd a great pill bug trap by acccident.

Place it right under your rippening fruit and they wouldn't be able to get to it. Carolynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02195678279969708299noreply@blogger.com
