Pesticide for hops

Not sure where to post this, but i noticed that there is something eating the leaves on my hops plants. Does anybody know of a good pesticide that will kill the unknown bug but be safe to brew with?

I would think any pesticide that is safe for fruit or veggies would work. Just make sure to follow the safety guidelines on the package. I've used spectricide with good results.

You want to identify the pest and choose a treatment that is safe and effective. Maybe check with the extension office. They seem to appreciate the out of the ordinary.
