I think i have asparagus beetles on my asparagus. The little black wormy larva (?) are all over it. I picked off as many as I could. There are definately eggs on the plants, though I picked off as many of those as I could too. What is the best way to address this? Should I spray anything on the plant? (I'd like to avoid strong poisons if I can).
