Anyone know how to effectively keep pests away from outdo...

I have wild passionflower vines and morning glories that come back every year, but they always get absolutely destroyed by pests (caterpillars, ants, etc). I tried insecticidal soap last year, but it rains so often here I got tired of fighting em. They rarely bloom because ants get to the buds too fast 😭 Any tips? Or should I try fighting harder with the insecticidal soap again?

Have you tried Ortho Home Defense? I use it around my yard to prevent roaches and fleas. You just have to spray it monthly if it rains often there.
@HedwigRhoda Thanks! I’ll have to give it a try! Do you think it’d be fine to spray the entire plant? Because there’s bugs on the vines eating the plants as well. There’s some minor debate on if it’ll kill some plant types
I would spray the are around them. I wouldn't use it directly on the plant unless it's infested. Try it on a small section first if you do.
