My builder uses Houzz Pro to plan the timeline and give detailed estimates and daily updates with photos of progress, and provide invoices at pre-agreed key points in the build. This made the whole experience much more efficient and stress-free.

alder beetle anyone?

19 years ago

has anyone dealt with this particular beetle? I was walking thru the garden and on the edge of one of my pots was a big black shiny thing. the closer i got i noticed it was about 25-30 little beetles. so i took pictures and looked it up. it says in groups it can be a pest. well, i scooped up what i could and i just found a few more. this seems to be my beetle year. first the hollyhock weavil and now this. i am just thankful i havent got the cuke beetle again. that was a nightmare!! so if anyone has any more info on this i would appreciate it!!
