Killed a rose bush & avocado plant. I tried oil/soap, alcohol, spraying with streams of water to try to wash off...even submersion in 110 degree hot water...still lost these plants...now fearing for another. HELP...you say to watch for them but no advise on how to get rid of them! Evidently pesticides don't work because they mutate and it has no effect...read on line, where I got the other hints that did not help! Gradually the plant just withers away.
