Death to cats!!!!!

Not the feline type, I like four legged cats.  I'm talking about the linear cats, as in caterpillars!

This summer I have been fighting what appears to be a losing battle with these pests.  I've already had three major infestations and with all the moths and butterflies I've seen flying around the past couple of days, I'm sure the 4th is only a week or two away.

Last week I resorted to chemical warfare in hopes of knocking them down fast.  Spraying is a pain in the butt!  It takes close to 50 gallons of spray and 3-4 hours of time for me to spray all my angel trumpets. If I have to spray the in-ground yard plants as well, add a couple more hours to the task.

That is why I say DEATH TO CATS!
