What you will see

Adult beetles notch leaf edges; larvae eat the roots and the plant wilts.

The source says: it is among the perennials prone to damage.

How to protect

  1. Prevention
    • When planting and repotting, check the roots and remove larvae.
    • Encourage birds, toads, hedgehogs and ground beetles.
  2. By hand May to SeptemberEvening collection of adult beetles by torchlight; pick larvae out of the roots and soil.
  3. Biological August to early September, soil warm enoughNematodes (Steinernema, Heterorhabditis) watered into the soil against the larvae.

What you will see

Irregular holes in soft leaves and young shoots and slime trails; they feed at night.

How to protect

  1. Prevention
    • Plant sturdy potted plants, not delicate young seedlings.
    • Water in the morning, not the evening (evening watering helps them move around).
    • Encourage their natural enemies: birds, hedgehogs, toads, ground beetles.
  2. By hand evening, after rainPick them off by hand on damp evenings and take them far away. Traps: hollowed-out citrus halves placed cut side down, or sunken containers of beer; check in the morning.
  3. Biological when the soil is warm and moistSlug-specific nematodes (from a biological control supplier) are watered into the soil.
  4. Chemical — only when nothing else helps according to the product labelLast resort only: a product authorised in your country against slugs and snails. Try non-chemical methods first.
