I'm going to try a garlic spray that several cotton farmers and others are using. It is supposed to help with many insects. Some truck gardeners and others around here plant or leave sunflowers around the edge of their fields and even some scattered throughout. Claim many pests prefer them and tend to leave the other plants along. Guess they would rather have a prime steak as lunchmeat. I haven't tried either of these yet. I have sprayed with a dish soap mix several times and hit has helped on some also.
