Symphilids and tobacco juice.

[Murdoch]

My plants have symphilids and I want to use tobacco juice to kill it.
I've heard people use tobacco tea, is that the same? And is tobacco tea just tea from tobaccoleaves and does that work. Can I then just make a tea from pipe or cigarette tobacco and water the plants with that? Or is it made from some special kind of tobacco?

As I understand it, you make a tea with tobacco, strain it through a coffee filter, then mist the plant with it, not feed it to it.

But these bugs are only in the soil. Where did you get your information? Do you have a link?
