Default Leaf Footed Bugs....

How do you control them?

What seems to be your most effective method?

Looking for a quick fix. Fast. They seem to be spreading.

Sevin - they shake it off & laugh at me
but
Permethrin - they didn't like this stuff one little bit. The jokers that last year peeked around my tomato stalks & scampered all over, poking their probosces into my maters... well, they just aren't around.
Permethrin & Worm Whipper - my mater's new BFF (that and a soil pH somewhere < 7.4)
I got the Permethrin at True Value - pint size - 1 T to a gallon of water & spray away.
