Q.something attacking my old laurel hedge

Zone BH242RT | Lynn Trebilco added on May 11, 2016 | Answered

My old laurel hedge is being eaten alive but I can’t find anything like a caterpillar that is causing the problem. What do you suggest I do – spray with Pyrethrum?

Many thanks Lynn

Search for more clues on the leaves of your hedge.
Are there chewing or holes in the leaves?
Yellowing or color changes?

Here are some articles that will help you pinpoint the pest or disease.
