Another recommendation that came from Grobo support when I had bugs was sprinkle a little diatomaceous earth on your cocopod. I battled bugs for a while. The best combo for me personally was the diatomaceous earth on the pod to kill the larvae and on top of my grobo I put out a jar trap that had vinegar and sugar in it which attracted all the adults. Neem oil spray did work for me too, but I had to spray pretty much everyday to keep them away. But it could also depend on your region and exact bug. You can’t go wrong either way.

The best thing about Neem Oil is it kills just about everything that can harm your plant. It’s organic and will dissipate after a couple days, which is nice because that means you can use it right up until a couple days before harvest.
