    This was supposed to be the year of the okra for me. So far I have had just 10 edible fruits from 2 mature plants. The damage these pests cause is depressing.

    Been spraying the neem with no luck. Will try adding the Cheyenne to the mix when I get home today. Thanks mate.

    Thanks for trying G. Got home too lazy to try the Cheyenne and today will be a very long work day. Hopefully i can make time tomorrow and the Cheyenne works. I got 6 very large and healthy okra plants with almost no fruit. This is horribly disappointing.

    In case any future readers decide to try the Cheyenne approach...
    Use a coffee filter so it does not clog the sprayer. That was not fun to clean. 2nd time I just threw in a handful of fresh Cheyenne peppers cut up for a 30 minute simmer. It appeared to work just as well as the powder. With organic cold pressed neem and Castile soap.this method requires reapplication every week for these buggers and even then it is not 100% effective. Massive improvement.
    Cheers.
