5 plants that attract bugs you DON’T want 🐛 🍃Basil - attracts aphids, whiteflies and Japanese beetles especially when over planted or overwatered. Hand pick them off and pinch your plants back to keep them bushy 🌽Sweet Corn - attracts corn worms and sap beetles. Use BT or neem oil on the silks to prevent them from tunneling their way in. 🌸Zinnias - attracts spider mites and leaf hoppers, especially in hot, dry conditions. Keep them well misted and remove infected leaves to prevent further spread. 🥦 Broccoli & Cabbage - attract sooooo many bugs. Inspect the underside of the leaves and destroy eggs whenever you find them. Insecticidal soap works too! 🎃Pumpkins - attracts squash bugs and cucumber beetles. Play a wet board on the ground next to your plants and let it sit overnight. The next morning, flip it over and go to town destroying all the bugs that moved in.
