How do people rid these damn things ive spotted them several times and cant seem to find a spray that eradicates them.

I use a combination of lost coast and mesh screen to keep leafhoppers and moths off my girls. 0 budworms or phytoplasm every year

Nope. Look like leaf hoppers.

I've gotten good at squishing them between the leaf and my fingers.

I've seen way more of them than damage from them so far.

I sprayed spinosad in veg. Bought green lacewing larva which the ants ate. Poisoned the ants. Started Dr Zymes eliminator in early flower. Leafhoppers seem unaffected by any of my moves. I go out in the morning and squish a couple. Go and squish when the suns going down. I average three a day.

You know all the little spots that appear on your leaves that look like little holes that turn brown on a healthy leaf? These bastards caused them!

Leafhoppers. Most likely have mayhem in mind.
