Sheesh, are things ever going to get easier?
Now that I have my drainage problems under control, the pests have started! Thumbs down

While adding grit to a few container semps, I noticed the earwigs scramble out from under the plant when I added the grit. Absolutely despise those insects!

Pill bugs living deeper in the roots. Noticed them while repoting a semp. There were even little, tiny baby pill bugs! Ewwwww!

And, the slugs have developed a real fondness for my heuffs. Hey, I know my slugs don't compare with the slugs I saw in Seattle, but they do a lot of damage! Crying

What can I apply that will destroy the pests without damaging my semps?

I'm not trying to spend a lot of cash, but I'll do whatever is necessary to save my plants!

A positive attitude may not solve all your problems, but it will annoy enough people to make it worth the effort!
