How I forgot about these fuckers eating everything in the garden this spring. Anyone know if I can use DE on the fruits? Options of killing Rollie Pollies/sew bugs vs. them eating everything. Taking with them Everything I had hopes of using.... Shit fuck

Don't put it directly on fruits but encircle your patch.

Cool, thanks.
Ill try flooding it to get them out from within and then see if it'll work to get me something to put on agar. If nothing else I'm tempted to grab a piece and see how contaminated it is, or if I can isolate it away from all the bad. This should not be my first attempted agar experiment huh?

DE is non-toxic. It won't do much good once it gets wet though. RR

yes, every time it rained i had to go dust the seedlings and even fruiting plants to keep these guys at bay, i've got to get the little fish out of the hole and water usually will get them running, but then just dust the area around? I didn't know if the little fruits would absorb the DE, it is food grade, so if dusting the whole area, after drying from flooding going to do any harm in any possible samples?
Guess it couldn't be any worse than what these guys are going to do eh?
Thanks!
