infestation

Question

We have large plate sized hibiscus perennials and have a problem with small green worms about a third of an inch in length. They are quite voracious at devouring the leaves long before the flowers bloom. What are they and what can I do about it?

Answer 1

Neem Oil is a good treatment.
