Quite playing..
I was trying to be nice to them.....but they were winning.
I had to use the option........Malathion
Spray the pots and surrounding area numerous times.
Or better yet put he plants aside from your other stock for a week and spray for the critters.
Many gardeners fail to treat the surrounding area and containers for pests and they soon repopulate plant .
