Hello fellow Florida gardeners!

Have any of you had a problem with lubber infestation, or any experience with handling one?

I had a group of a few thousand hatch about a month ago (they're so cute when they're little) but didn't kill them because I decided to let things happen to my garden naturally. The only problem is, most of my garden is little saplings and leafy veggies and now the lubbers are much bigger! Since the plants are so young, loosing a lot of leaf is starting to take a toll on them.

Does anyone know of any natural ways to get rid of lubbers other than killing them? Is there something that they don't like (besides when the leaves run out)? I thought of doing a catch and release, but I don't want to infest another area with my lubber problem.
