Spit bugs should just be ignored. Their lifespan is so short and they don't do any damage to the plants anyway. Insecticides will harm beneficial insects and the environment, and are a waste of money. The spit bug is immune to insecticides anyway because of it's protective "spit" coating. If they bug you that much, the hose trick works, or just wait, and they'll be gone in no time. You won't have to lift a finger!
How can I eradicate cuckoo spit on my lavender?

Reply:The cuckoo spit is hiding a leaf hopper grub. Use the garden hose as advised, but follow it up with an insecticide spray to kill the bug.
Reply:Go with JT's advice this is spot on
