| I have Collar Greens infested with those pesty Harlequin Bug. Is there anything I can do to get rid of them without using chemical? I am in a organic community garden and unsure what to do at this point. I don't want my tomatoes nor pole beans to be infected with this little ugly bugs. It would be very difficult for me to smash each but individually as was recommended by someone else. PLEASE WHAT CAN I DO TO RID THEM? |

| Destroy any eggs you can find and hand pick the adults, dropping them into a bucket of soapy water. Insecticides are generally not very effective against these wee buggers, and do more harm to their predators. |
