They feed on roots just below the soil, which results in wilted leaves and stunted growth. Spray with garlic concentrate or garlic-pepper spray. Or, drench soil with diazinon before planting. Red pinhead-size mites suck nourishment from foliage and form webs on undersides of leaves. They spread rapidly in hot weather, undergoing a complete life cycle in less than a week.
Ladybugs feed on spider mites.
Or, spray with Kelthane early in the season, hitting undersides of leaves. Oval, round-topped sowbugs are crustaceans, not insects. A sowbug looks like a miniature brownish armadillo and uses all 14 of its legs to run for cover when disturbed. Like its cousin, the pillbug, the sowbug feeds on organic material in the soil and nibbles on tender, young plants. Keep garden clean of debris and garden material.
