I don't. I just remember the plants ended up with holes.

They were really sad plants to begin with, so I guess I just didn't pay as much attention as I should have. Just gave up! ;-)

Oh well. Another time and I'll do better and pay more attention, and I guess maybe I should save bug eradication questions for then, huh?

Heh heh! Well, depending on what it is eating your plant, you can use several items...Diotomaceous Earth cuts the legs of some critters, Lady Bugs eat some, BT makes worms sick, then you can use the big guns, the last straw, so to speak and it's natural pyrethrins...which are very toxic to *every* insect but are not toxic to humans. It kills everything, though...earthworms, lady bugs, butterflies.

Marigolds are supposed to repel insects.

Otherwise, a good shot of carbaryl will get it...or imidicloprid...
