They are the size of a pen head and there are millions. Funny how the only beds that have them are full of Kellogg raised bed filler. I dusted the beds down with DR and ordered 3000 ladybugs

I sprayed them with dawn dish soap and water before I dusted with DE. I'll spray em again tomorrow. The lady bugs will be here next week.

I think they came in the dirt I got from homedepot!

Palmolive original is the best - it's all natural and made of palm and olive oil. I use it even on wasps it's great stuff. I also use mixed with water as a lubricant for my sawmill blades. It's all we use around here for washing dishes also.

Only Palmolive orginal though - not the newer mixes of plamolive.

I've found that sometimes it's hard to find Palmolive original- a lot of stores in our area don't carry it; they only carry the new "improved" stuff. I also like the scent of it better than other detergents.

I find Palmolive original at Dollar General stores here. I'm not sure if those stores are everywhere yet, but you can find one every few miles here. :)
