What is eating my shrub leaves?
If you have insect problems on your shrubs or trees it could be various problems. Some of the symptoms look like this: 1. Large chunks or holes eaten away from the leaves. Leaves are close to the ground. Look during the daylight and can never find any insects at all. This is probably slugs. Slugs come out at night so you rarely see them. They eat larger leaves with clean cuts. To kill them use ‘Slug-Em’ in the orange containers. You just sprinkle this around the garden in strips, and when the slub travels across it at night, they will pick this up and it will end up killing the problem. 2. Holes in leaves. Quite often found on trees and larger shrubs. When inspecting the leaves you find caterpillars or beetles crawling over them. This is exactly what you saw, caterpillars or beetles. Again this is easy to care for. You just need to spray the tree or shrub with either Ambush or Tree & Shrub Spray to correct it.
