Squishing Colorado potato beetles and larvae by hand.
Dumping slugs and tomato hornworm caterpillars in buckets of water.
Putting the iridescent, invasive jumping worms (these things are DEVASTATING for your soil’s health) in containers to fry, dry and die in the sun.
And, of course, knocking spotted lantern flies from grape vines and putting my eye-hand coordination skills to the test by swatting them dead. (Not as easy as it sounds.) We got zero mature grapes last year because of these bugs, and we usually get buckets of grapes. They need to go.
