My great Grandpa had a different way of dealing with these guys. It was, "Cassi, use your little fingers to pull those off'a there and drop them in this cup." It was usually just salty water. Yup, his guard against slugs and caterpillars was me for a good number of years. They were THE WORST on the berries though. Now I gather them alive and feed them to my birds. My chickens and ducks make short work of anything creepy crawly. And generally speaking as long as the plant has thorns the birds leave them alone.
Found these slugs on my mini rose and mixed up a homemade solution and it works wonders! 100ml warm water, 2 ml baby oil, and 3-4 drops of dish soap (to emulsify the oil and water). Apparently the baby oil (a mineral oil) does something to the soft bodied insects and they don’t seem to come back. Mix it up in a spray bottle and continuously shake the bottle to make sure everything is mixed while you’re spraying. Try to spray on the backside of the leaves and soft tips of the plant in the evening or early morning; avoid spraying in direct sun/ heat. Works well on aphids too! Probably see a change after 2 treatments.
Thanks for the info. Just ordered after watching your video.
Thank you for this information!
I will share this to my sister.
Thank you! I’m a new plant mom and I couldn’t figure out what the spots were. I thought it was powdery mildew. The copper spray wasn’t working and I even cut off most of the leaves. Now I know what to do. 😊🌹
Thank you!!
I’m learning so much from you, thank you.
That is great to hear! Happy Gardening.
I appreciate her sharing her knowledge!
Ahhh so that's what that was on my roses. I thought it was Bud worms. Squash!!
Please, spray at night or evening Captain Jacks kills bees too! Squishing while yucky, keeps the bees safe if you can do it, if not keep the spray to when bees are asleep.
do eggs over winter on the rose bush or are they lied when it leaf's out? if so will dormant oil spray kill eggs ?
I have white spots and black on my new David Austin roses. It's so disheartening. The leaves have holes in them and even my Hibiscus that is planted next to the roses do too. I found a Japanese beetle and a black shiny sliter looking insect feasting on the roses.
Thanks for the video. Does neem oil kill slugs as well?
Good Morning. Yes, Neem is effective for rose slugs.
This is what I use, the question I have is how often to spray? I have been doing weekly but wonder if I could do more often.
Thanks so much for watching. The directions say every 7 to 10 days, so it looks like you’re doing it right.
oh my god!!!! I have never seen a rose slug before!!! Nice find..they do seem to eat a lot compared to their body proportions. Glutonists!!
Little piggies.
I can never find the rose slugs but my leaves look exactly the same as yours.
Do you rinse the product the next day ? I’m just afraid the heat and sun will burn the leaves
Hi Sorydiva. No, I don’t rinse it off, although you probably could. It kills the bugs fairly quickly. Any spray I put in the leaves I do in the early morning so that it has a few hours to dry before the sun hits the leaves. You could also spray around 6pm- as the sun is starting to set. Then the spray will have the entire night to do what it needs. Thanks for watching 😀
@@TheRoseGeek thanks for your fast reply is 8:30 pm here in Pennsylvania and I’m going to spray my roses 🌹 right now thank you so much new subscriber here thanks 😊
@@SorydivaSory thanks for subscribing. Let me know how it goes for you 😍
@@TheRoseGeek today I looked at the leaves and they kind of look shiny I guess it’s because the neem oil but definitely I will keep you updated I was so worried I really love my 🌹 thanks dear
@@SorydivaSory how are your roses doing now?
Make the slug a tulip and guise it as a closed rose?
?
Your plants in a pot , just lay on its side and spray under the leaves. That Rose otherwise doesn’t look happy.
Thank you pumpkineater!
So that is what ate the rose buds.😑
They are destroying my Asian Pear trees. Thanks
Sawflys are the worst.
SLUGS???? Ewwwwwww
I agree! I don't have the heard to squish them either. What is wrong with me?!
