Bug Repellent

[StrwbryCough]

My plant is outdoors and is getting munched on by something. I used "guardian" all natural bug repellant on the 1st of July, and is supposed to last 30 days! I need some recommendations on good all natural bug repellant for outdoor plants.
Thanks ✌

Totally depends on what type of bug...Can you get a pic of the damage?

Appears to be tripes

Anything with spinosad I use Monterey

This sucker? I doused Mrs Janie with the Guardian solution again but definitely looking into getting something else. If anyone has suggestions please attach a link to the bug repellant you suggest. Thank guys ✌

Definitely thrips.
Very easy to beat. Use monterrey garden , every 3 days for 3 applications and consider sterilization of your soil before you grow in it. I always get thrips from bagged soil. Also look into ogbiowar bennificials for prevention.
Best of luck.
Peace

I had some "autum beauties" they are just about done blooming now....started with a bunch, but the gophers ate every single one except the 2 I had in pots

Damn! That sucks! I have all my plants in tires that I turned into planters and nothing messes with them in there thank goodness.
