I know your anger man. I sprayed and sprayed I even every day picked off all the eggs and I have twelve plants. I went home to my best plant 1065 mcckie. It was a perfect christmas three style. Green leaves no problems and I had a 200 pounder set 19 feet out on the main. Came home yesterday and removed grubs from a vine. I had to remove the whole vine. I hate SVBS WORSE THEN ANY OTHER BUG.

Eng , I have used Mialathon and called the 800 number last year on the bottle asking how much stronger I could make my mix as I was not satisfied with the results from what they printed on thier instructions and they said to double the rate and it seemed to work better for me. If it makes you feel better I have killed over 80 svb moths this month with a fly swatter in my field pumpkin patch .

svb are very small for the first 2 weeks or so , so if you are cutting into a damaged vine look real close for a black dot on a tiny body , than SQUASH IT . Spray damaged area again then seal it up.
