| Does anyone know if bagrada bugs are rose pests too? Our county has an outbreak of them right now, they kill veggies in the cabbage family, but I have read that they will go after other plants as well. We found them on 2 kale plants (we feed to chickens) I can pull the plants, but guess I would rather kill the bugs on those two kale than find them elsewhere in the yard.
Any info? |

| For what it's worth, when I was growing califlower - I found quite a few of them eating away. I have yet to see one on any of my roses. |

| Thanks Harmonyp They are new in this county I guess, or at least at the current numbers, I was going to put a rose in a corner in the same garden area-several feet away though-and would hate to have those pests munch on it too. I am hoping they do not discover our peppers. I have some poor cauliflower still in the now too small pots just because I know once I plant they will be bug food. |

| Great, something else to be concerned about. I guess prices on the veggies they devour will be going up, along with everything else. |
