Little gold bugs?

Question

i have 3 potted morning glories in the front of my house, and these little shiny gold bugs are destroying them!!! they eat half of the leaves, but only on 2 of the plants and not the third, and it is killing them!! i was wondering what they were and how to get rid of them, i have no pictures of them, but they are VERY small, solid gold and very shiny, they seem to be out between 10am and 2 pm, that is the time i pick them off the underside of the leaves.

Answer 1

Here try this.This will keep away any critter and is organic. Everything from Bugs to small mammals will avoid this:

One tablespoon of Garlic powder per pint of water. Finer garlic powder is best since it dissolves the best. Put into a spray bottle shake for several minutes add a drop of dish soap per pint will help the garlic adhere to the leaves (and corn stalks) and stay around longer. Apply liberally.

After watering or a heavy rain apply more. If spray mechanism gets clogged consider putting a tiny piece of screen or nylon (from old stockings) material over spray bottle straw as a strainer to keep out garlic powder. (Good hint is to tap bottle bottom will also help to free any clogs but the nylon or screen material works best.) Attach material with a small rubber band. Apply liberally and re-spray after a rain or watering.
