Probably already has. If not, in a week, two max. If it has been in the 80s for the past couple weeks, I would bet they are out and about. I am from Windsor, Ontario, which is across the river from Detroit. So, you are not that much further north than me. I found the first SVB about 9 days ago.

Yeah, Sevin wont do anythings for SVB. Works on squash bugs and cucumber beetles, but not SVB. Need something stronger. Bifenthrin, Lambda-Cyhalothrin, or Esfenvalerate. Look for spectrazide triazicide, ortho max at lowes, or talk to Tremor, I hear he has a case of Talstar One (bifenthrin). Thats the stuff I use. It has a 2 week residual.
