Pests

[LewBrew88]

So my hops are going real nice so far but I have recently discovered something eating the leaves. I've tried neem oil and insecticidal soap but it hasn't done the trick. Any ideas of what I may have eating my plants and what to use to get rid of them?

From the pattern I would guess little caterpillars. At least that's what I dealt with last year. They hung out on the underside of the lea ves, relatively sheltered from causual spraying and never seemed to stay on one leaf for long, making them difficult to catch in the act. But I could be wrong, either way just be sure to spray up and under the leaves with your poison of choice (my caterpillars laughed at neem oil... Se7en stopped the laughter)

I'll try that. Thanks!

It looks like caterpillars are eating your leaves. You can try for some sprays which are available in the market to get rid of them and protect your plants. You can check for DIY methods which you can find by searching for them online. If all of the above does not work, then you should ask a professional exterminators team like Exterminator Naugatuck CT, Exterminator New Haven County CT, Exterminator Trumbull CT, Exterminator Newtown CT, Exterminator Redding CT for some suggestions. They can better guide you on what further step you should take. They have years of experience dealing with these problems so they can guide you in much better way.
