Nah...the smell and flavour dont permiate. (Sp?). It doesnt need to be that concentrated.

I actually used Natural Orange cleanser on them. Sprayed the shit out of the mint and killed hundreds of the beetles. And then after 20 minutes or so, I hosed off the mint so the orange cleanser wouldn't kill the mint. Next morning, there were far far fewer beetles and the mint was still alive. I need to buy more of that orange spray.

These beetles are nymphs now. The last thing I need is to allow them to mature and lay eggs that will hatch next year. Gotta kill these babies.

You need predators. Will Ladybugs eat those things?
