Controlled irrigating, de-thatching, fall cleanings, hosing, mowing, raking, resistant plant-growing, and spraying are ways to rid gardens of spittlebugs. The insects in question (Cercopoidea superfamily) favor annual beans, centipedegrass, lavender, rosemary, and strawberry for clustering and weeds for sheltering so gardens cannot be located near meadows, the above-mentioned grass is less desirable than the more resistant St. Augustinegrass or zoysiagrass, and the above-mentioned plants must not be planted or will have to be monitored or separated. Controls may involve organic treatments through horticultural oils, home-made remedies (such as diluted garlic, hot peppers, and unbleached liquid soap), insecticidal soaps, and natural enemies (predatory parasitic wasps) and non-organic treatments through sprays with the active ingredients carbaryl, cyfluthrin, or pyrethroid.

The treatment must be applied when the spittlebugs are active, which is later on in the day. The strategy will involve a steady spray of water for dislodging, retrieving and tossing in the presence of very few spittlebugs. It will require insecticidal soap in the case of a light infestation which is caught early. Spittlebugs will respond best to carbamate or pyrethroid insecticides in the case of heavier infestations.Carbamate insecticides have the active ingredient carbaryl.
