Plant Damage

Question

I have pansies that seem like something is eating them as they have holed in the leaves. I took a picture but didn’t see any way to attach. How can I prevent this?

Answer 1

It may be slug damage. If not, here are ways to get rid of chewing insects as well. Do some sleuthing at night and you may find your pest. It's best to know what you are dealing with before arbitrarily spraying.
