As soon as a leaf looked like they might be there, I treated every plant as if they were infested. Sprayed alot, sometimes with just water, but anything to make them uncomfortable. I also have applied pyrethrin/rotenone about three times this season, and weekly applications of aerated compost tea.

Another thing I did was as soon as all fruit were harvested from a plant, I pruned them down to about 2 feet. All this at the end of June. So far no sign on the regrowth. I still have some trusty kelthane left if they make a resurgance.
