I have never know them so prolific, many of my seedlings are being

We've always had lots of them, but the last two years have reached
almost plague proportions. I'm always treading on them, too, especially
at night. I've also lost so many seedlings and other plants this year,
so you have my sympathy. I want to reapply the liquid slug clear, but
it's been raining so hard, the amount in dilution will soon be
negligible. First dryish spell we get I shall be taking action.
