Another key element in control of the pickle worm is to set up a bat house. Bats consume thousands of night flying insects each night which include moths which cause corn ear worms , pickle worms, tomato horn worms peach bores apple maggott and several more plus cucumber beetles are night flying beetles along with mosquitoes. So establish a colony of bats near your garden and encourage these night time birds to help rid pest. Rodger
