The last thing we need to see in our garden or on a plant in the landscape is some wilting leaves, or some holes eaten out of the leaves, or even worse, some critter sitting right in the middle of my flower. Now that's outrageous!!

So what do you do after using some language the kids should not hear.

You need to identify the insect that is in fact the culprit in this case. Each of the plant files in Yardener\'s Helper at the end each file have a chart showing all the symptoms for the most common insect and disease problems for that plant. Start there, and then come into this pest insect section for more information. Each insect file has a more detailed description of the symptoms for that particular nasty critter to help you confirm your diagnosis.

Now you are ready to do battle! Happy hunting.
