Chewing Critters
I second Wendy's suggestion. Last fall, my Phal leaves and flowers had
large chunks eaten out of the edges - nothing in the centers. I knew it wasn't slugs (reincarnated judges) because they didn't always pick on the best plants. After dark I went hunting and found little (3/8" or so) weevils. The only method of control seemed to be - catch them in the act after dark, be sure to put something under them as they like to drop off and play dead, catch and put them on a hard surface and mash them! No pesticide I tried had any effect on them. David "Wendy7" wrote in message ... Tom, Just a thought, have you checked the plants at night? Some of these guys come out & do the damage after dark. Cheers Wendy |
