| I have several of these shrubs, recently moved due to a big yard renovation. They are recovering ok, but some pest is taking big bites out of the ends of the leaves. I didn't see the bug on the shrubs but there are Lovebugs out. This is a first pest problem for my Beautys. The leaves they are eating are five feet from the ground. Is there a good all around pest control spray that you recommend? I don't mind trying something more organic either. |

| Lynn, would it be possible for you to let us see pictures of the damage? Believe it or not, the 'type' of chewing holes can help lead to an identification. Sometimes. If a picture is not possible, please try to describe the size and shape of the damage in as much detail as you can. At present, no one can really help you with an an all purpose pest control spray, since we don't know who the culprit it. |

| no ID.. no spray ... if you cant find them during the day.. try at night ... IMHO.. a little cosmetic damage.. is not enough to spray ... on the other hand if 50% of the plant has been denuded.. then lets ID them.. and go get them ... picture??? .. know what cutter bee damage looks like? ken |
