Have you tried neem spray??

#### Moriah antwoordde op 2024-06-04

Does neem spray help with cut worms (learned that’s what these are!)? They’re also not on the leaves so I wouldn’t know what to do with the neem spray I have. Spray it on the soil?

Trey surrounding ur plant with corneal they like it but can’t digest it so they’ll die also spray the leaves still with the neem oil so they don’t eat the leaves I thinks they feed primarily on roots though so try the corn meal I hope this helps

“Cutworms can be killed by a specific strain of Bacillus thuringiensis israelensis (BTI), as well as other pesticides, such as:  
Permethrin, Carbaryl, Deltamethrin, Cyfluthrin, Bifenthrin, Lambda-cyhalothrin, and Neem oil.” - i got this from an ai tool. Hope it helps!
