We were newbies and didn't really know how to treat. So we only used vaseline, and that eventually got rid of them. But spraying with neem or permethrin might help too
Okay Kiki here goes. So I took some of a few versions (cage free, organic, basic - I was just in Publix today and checked out prices before I found your thread)
