I wonder if that would help with my Harlequin bugs that seem to resist all regular eco remedies. Soapy water is the most popular treatment but it’s pretty hard to target them each time with a bucket of soapy bubbles. The oil might help with getting the soap under the shell like barrier. I think we’re in for another bumper plague this summer in NW Melb.
I haven’t noticed them much near my garden. I think the oil is the key, although I don’t know the complete science of it. One summer I used soapy water only and they came back.
