The flower petals appear to have been eaten by something. I cannot see a pest. Looking to know what it might be and how to kill it.

It could be a number of pests, from slugs, to ants, to aphids, or other insects. It could even be from fungal or bacterial infection. Unfortunately, your photos did not come through. I am unable to see the damage. You may try looking on the undersides of leaves for signs of infection or infestation.
