In a spray bottle, add a bit of liquid dish soap, shake up, and spray on. (you pay a lot for the same thing called "safe soap" at the garden centre.)

Reply:I have seen a friend of mine use soapy water and even a vinegar water spray.
Reply:I mix up a dish of warm water and mild dish detergent and knock the little buggers off the plant into the water. They drown in the water.

Reply:You could purchase preying mantis eggs. Preying mantises will devour anything in your garden. I have some for my garden and it is doign fine.
While the eggs are hatching try hot pepper wax. Animals and insects hate the taste of hot pepper. They will take one bite and never bite again. It is really save and all natural. Its just cayenne peppers and parafin wax. You can buy it online. You can wash it right off of your canna also. Will not effect anything.
