Capsid bugs on gooseberries and other crops: signs, damage and what works in Scottish gardens. Best control: encourage birds and ground beetles.
A hand-held vacuum is a good tool for gathering capsid bugs from plants but be careful not to damage the delicate new leaf growth. /// Pyrethrum is the only organic pesticide that can be used to kill capsid bugs, but it will also kill beneficial insects so should only be used as a last resort. Pyrethrum-based products are available from garden product suppliers and the instructions on the labels need to be followed correctly.
