I have killed about 50 altogether and I will reach for the bug killer tomorrow.

Do you use anything Esther? I am going to have to.

Cherry, a couple of years ago my lillies were decimated by lily beetles, so last year I used the Provado as I was still getting lots of beetles, but this year I haven't (so far) had many at all, so it seems that it does work
