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.

Hosta pests?

17 years ago

I only lost two hosta over the winter and my bed looks wonderful, for the most part. But the leaves on some are already covered in tiny holes as if small bugs are eating through. These are NOT caused by slugs, I know what that looks like. Are there any insects that would do this? Would I need an insecticidal soap?

Also, I know there are bunnies in my yard, do they eat hosta and do you think the stuff for deterring deer would discourage the bunnies? My basset hound does her best, but sometimes a girl's just gotta take a nap!

Thanks!
