My problem plants were tomatoes and the datura in the front yard - no height restrictions.
Interrupting the life-cycle seems to be the approach that, if started early enough, might make a dent in them.
I googled "leaf-footed bug life cycle" and came up with an article from
Austin organic gardeners that confirms my methods (scroll down to the conversation).
I would pay close attention to Howard's discussion about Neem - it can be VERY good but it can also go VERY WRONG. You need to find a variety that is fresh and stable. I've burned plants with it, and there are some that simply don't tolerate it. Eggplant can, tomatoes seem to, but peppers look horrible for the rest of the season if you use neem on them. Test a spot, like they say with cleaning products - to see if it leaves damage. And if you get them when they're small I'd think a mild mix of orange oil or neem will work, where on the bigger bugs it is more difficult.
Not sure why the message about the file not being available is there - scroll down and you'll see a photo I took in the okra last summer.
