Using chemicals on your vegetables is not why you are growing vegetables. There are alternatives to toxic chemicals. Chemicals kill ALL insects – beneficials as well as ‘bad’ insects.

There are two really good products that would take care of your concern with the garden pests, diatomaceous earth and hot pepper wax.
