Sounds like worms. Or Grubs.Get some BT and spray them.
Can't spell this but here goes : Baccsiliss Theringis. That's what BT is.

HELP!!!!!!! Something is eating the petals of my petunias in my window
boxes. I cannot see what it is but I can tell you my flowers look
terrible.
Then off to my roses. I just planted them last week and already the ants
have drilled holes into the stems. These are the stems that were trimmed
last fall however I am fearful the whole rose bush will be next. Any help
you folks have will be appreciated greatly. Thank you, Betty
