Hi Beacon,
I'm not familiar which type of critters you have there in Sevierville, maybe one of this family, sawfly
{{gwi:792368}}
or a leafcutter bee
{{gwi:792370}}
they both nibble pieces out of the edges of the leaves, apart from being unsightly they don't really harm the plant.

Provado also deters white fly as well as killing vine weevil larvae, it might kill off any larvae that is lurking in your soil that was put there by your insects. You could always give it a try, it won't do any harm if you use the type that is watered into the soil. I wouldn't use the Provado Spray, thinking of your hummers - Kath:)

Nope, neither of those are what I had.

Thanks though Kath.

I've pulled out all of the pest products I have...and double checked. We had Jananese Beetles!! I'm assuming that they laid eggs in the soil of this plant (correct?) or just in my yard?

How do I proceed?

Never seen one of those before, yuk :)
