Product Reviews
found this item very good got rid of the green flys off our chilli plant we have and have not come back would recommened to others.
Excellent product, used once on all my affected lillies, it has eradicated the red lillie beetles. Excellent product
I had a serious problem with white fly on my mint and honeysuckle and so wrote to Harrodhorticultural for advice. I was a bit dubious that they recommended one of their own products. Anyway, I was delighted that the spray worked a treat on my mint and all the white fly are gone. My honeysuckle didn't react to well to the spray and started to drop a lot of leaves but picked up a few weeks later. Thank you, a solution at last.
Our guide to the problems Leaf Beetles can cause in the garden...
Red Lily Beetle
Bright red beetles that have black heads and are about 6-7mm long. In the spring reddish brown eggs appear on the underside of leaves, which develop into reddish brown grubs, which often cover themselves in black excrement to ward off predators. The adults are active from March/April until the autumn and are usually found on lilies and fritillaries. Most of the damage is done by the Lily larvae, which strip plant foliage and then attack the flower buds. Damage increases as the summer goes on.
Flea Beetle 
The damage from this pest, that is present from April-May, is often seen before the beetles. These small beetles are shiny black in colour, sometimes with a yellow stripe on their wing case. When disturbed the beetles can be seen jumping from the plants. They attack vegetable plants including cabbage, radish, swede and turnip. Some beetles will also attack flowering plants like wallflowers, stocks and aubrietias. Seedlings are especially vulnerable and damage appears as small holes in the leaves.
Rosemary Leaf Beetle
This is quite a recent pest addition to the UK with the adults and larvae feeding on the leaves and shoots of rosemary, lavender, sage and thyme. The adult beetles appear in late spring and are metallic green with purple stripes on their wing cases. They mate in the summer, laying eggs that then develop into larvae. The larvae can be identified by their grey-white colour with dark stripes
on their bodies and they have a resemblance to slugs.
Natural Choice Treatments
Keeping the three species of leaf beetles above off crops with fleece or insect netting is an option or if you are too late there are some safe sprays that can be sprayed onto edible crops to kill the adult beetles; Savona fatty acid and Protector Natural Insect Killing spray.
