Whats eating my sunflowers leaves

Something is eating huge holes in my sunflowers,but I cant see anything--i've tried spraying for the usual bugs and laid slug pellets but still they get eaten.

Any advice please?

 

Well let me know if you find out, because I have never been so nibbled in my life!!! tips of my brugmansias, amaranthus, all the soft tender spots and yes although I hate the thought I have sprayed too.

 

I suspect it is slugs and snails- they must be loving this weather. I am finding things like Alstromeria eaten, which had never been eaten before. It was definately a snail - well an ex snail to be precise. :D

 

The slugs have nibbled at my sunflower leaves too but I can never seem to catch them in the act to murder them :(

 

what sunflowers?? I've planted 3 lots and they've all been eaten to nothing

 

Definately snails! Mine have been shredded. I have spotted a couple on them and they are definately the culprits. They are having a great summer in all this rain!

 

It looks like my sunflowers might have a bad dose of earwigs--What gets rid of them?? :eek:

 

What does earwig damage look like as opposed to snails? I notice next doors' sunflowers look fine and mine are a feast for something (pretty sure it is slugs/snails though).

 

I don't know what the difference is. But I haven't caught any snails or slugs near the plants or any slimy trails.
I have found quite a few earwigs today--so I wondered????

 

Well I caught up with the little b******* today, they are only a few mill but definately sammy snails!
