Default What Animal Will Eat The Tops Off Onion Plants?

EVP MAN said:



My neighbor planted some spring onion sets in his garden last week and
told me that something chewed the tops off of two rows. We live in town
and have rabbits, squirrels and every once in awhile a possum passes
through. I'm about to plant my own onion sets this coming week and this
has me a bit concerned. Does anyone know of any animal that will bother
onions???


Don't overlook cutworms. They love tender onion shoots and they don't
always leave cut pieces behind when they hit your onions.
