You might call your County Agricultural Office.

@Food wanna bee. Sevin powder will keep them off, however it must be reapplied after every occasion when the plants gets wet.  It can be used on vegetables.

@Desertdi - That is a striking picture. Reminds me of some Barbara Bixby jewelry pieces.

That is so funny and true!  Recently purchased a big Barbara Bixby bug pin that looks just like that pic.
