Reply To: Wire worms infestation!

[Karen]

I am at war with wire worms, leather jackets and cutworms and slugs and cabbage white butterflies! Think I have easily replaced over 30-40 lettuce plugs over the last 2 weeks….it´s infuriating!

Each time when I see the lettuce plant looking and growing strong, the very next day, it looks wilted and when I gently pull the plant out and it is broken off from the stem or root! And when I look carefully in the soil, it will be one of the above culprit!!! Especially wireworms!

I am at my wits end! 🙁

Have been having a bit of a slug problem too, caught about 20 yesterday. Blimey!

Anyone has any problem with killing cabbage white butterflies? 🙁
