| Hi, I am a new gardener and something is eating on the leaves of my vinca vine and snap dragon. What do I need to correct this problem. Thank you. |
| It's important to identify the pest before you can decide what to do to control it. Sometimes pesky insects will visit a garden for a short time and then move on; using insecticides when there are no pests present is a waste of your time and money. Try carefully inspecting the plants for actual insects, and look for evidence - slime trails indicate slugs or snails; frass indicates caterpillar feeding. Once you've caught the critter in the act of feeding on your plant leaves, you can use the appropriate pesticide. Best wishes with your garden! |
