Hello there, thanks for the fast reply, any suggestions to treat that?

Sticky traps to stop mature ones from laying more eggs. Spray and mist leaves with neem oil, you will want to give it a few treatments with the neem until you see the larvae stop spreading. If it gets real bad you can cut the effected leaves off.

Neem oil is hard to get here, any other methods besides cutting away the leaf?

If you dont treat it with something then those can get out of control and destroy your crop. Those leaves are important to your plants health so you want to try to save them rather than chopping them off. Where are you from? If you can’t get neem, are you able to get your hands on any other pesticide or insecticidal soaps? If you don’t have access to any of those you could try the natural route. Get a spray bottle and add 1 tsp of vegetable oil, 1 tsp of dish soap, and add about 500ml of water and mix it up and spray that on the plants.

Never heard of it, so I googled. This is the movie version of BubblinBuds excellent advice.

you can order it on amazon as a hair / beauty supplement. it is illegal as an insecticide in canada, but is legal as a supplement. it's the same stuff.
