There is a variety of things you spray on your plant to keep the bugs off. Also is your name Robert Paulson by any chance?

i plant very close to a coyote den and murphy oil soap and Irish spring soap spray the oil soap on the plant and all around the plot its smells like fire ants to me and it keeps bugs away to i buy it at the dollor store and mix it 8 cap per 2L and rub the bar soap in to the bark of trees around the area and through some bars around i have had very good luck with this method

a three year old german shepherd works for me. NOTHING/NOBODY gets in my yard except grasshoppers, the little bastards... for those keep your grass and weeds cut down and the soap idea mentioned before. they munched down my lettuce which i won't spray with anything. for my fruit trees i use a deer mesh covering it when the fruit is ripe. wrapping your p-plants in screen would work too. treat them like tomatoes, unlimited info on those.
