whats eating my leafs! help!

I released a couple packs of ladybugs around my garden and roses a few years ago. The roses had a bunch of aphids and there were bugs all over the garden. 2 days later not a single ladybug to be found but the aphids were still all over the roses. I went back to neem. It works and doesn't fly away. I wouldn't trust ladybugs to take care of your bug problems. Spray some neem.

ive also seen some kind of tape, that you put round the pot and they should not be able to cross it... never tried it, quite expensive though.

If you're outside there are all kinds of bugs that can do a "hit and run" munch on your plants and be gone when you notice it.

thats a gnat, they cant do shit to the leaves, but they multiply in the soil, and if there are too many larvas, they can fuck up your roots, but were talking bout huge infestation

These are not Gnats.

they are GREENFLY as I’ve already told him
In his other big thread.

I’ve also questioned how he’s getting all these bugs and if he’s not outdoor then he needs to sort his shit out lol.
