Mike, I’ve been told the pear slugs are already working in
our area. Another fruit grower in Sequim told me at the farmer’s market that he’s using
compost tea and says it handles his pear slugs. Don’t know if he drenched, sprayed, or both. Judi -----Original
Message----- Hi Judi, Thanks for the fruit tree post.
Don’t be too excited on the pear slugs quite yet though. I haven’t used tea on my trees and
this too is the first year I haven’t had them chomping on the leaves
(yet). But I hope to hear it continue
to work for you – and in a hope-for-ACT sick sort of way- I hope to get
hit – that could mean progress. I’m thinking that it might be a little too early for the slugs
– don’t they just start climbing up into the trees about this time
of year? I know it’s the fall season when the leaves really start to get
eaten by them – here anyway ( Please keep me updated on your pear slugs as the season
progresses. I was planning on using
teas to see if it controls my pear slug problem. I’d think a soil drench (if ACT
works against the pear slug) would work well – as that’s where they
originate, in the ground at the base of the trees. Thanks for the update. Mike
