Hi everyone I was hoping there might be some antibug recipes using rhubarb leaves I have some leaves and wanted to put them to good use. Does anyone have any good ideas? thanks in advance :) !

I had read that draping rhubarb leaves around the base of squash plants helps repel squash pests, but I'm not sure if it works.

It was hard to tell if it made any difference because as always I was changing several variables. It didn't seem to help this year, though. The squash bugs were fierce.

Would that recipe work on sciarid (fungus gnat) larvae or spidermites? My two nemesis at the moment!
