Try spraying it with a bit of Neem oil if it hasn't gone into flowering. That usually fixes things for me. Any pic would be a great help though Mick. Edited November 6, 2020 by Stumper

do you have any lights on outdoors , that would attract them 

 

yeah neem def worth a go

 

garlic sprays are supposed to be effective but i'm thinking it's a environment thing not just a canna plant thing 

if it is effective you might have to spray very regularly to try & control cos your plants are prob just a byproduct 

of them feasting on something else nearby 

 

adding sprays of aloe vera & or kelp meal steeped tea & making a compost or castings extract will help build 

plant immunity 

 

light depping plants might at least give the plants a break from them 

 

good luck mate

Put something else in there for them to eat

Put a plastic bottle over them at night

Crushed eggs shells and coffee granules around plants

Snails won't cross the egg shell , slugs hate coffee

Sea salt around the perimeter, snails or slugs won't cross

Plant some dill around the edges of plants ,

Heaps more

Dishwasher detergent and water spray

Wow thanks for the suggestions,

Neem oil seems hard to find online.

Bunnings is a LONG way from here.

any happy online customers here that could direct me to the Neem oil aisle?

neem oil , good 

https://www.organicgardeningsolutions.com.au/products/emulsified-neem-oil

 

neem & karanja oil , better 

https://www.drgreenthumbs.com.au/products/organic-neem-oil ( looks like you'll need an emulsifier for this )

 

The Karanja Tree and The Neem Tree are very similar and the odor is slightly milder with

Karanja and the oil is a little bit easier to pour at room temperature.

 

Karanja Oil is used in agriculture and pharmacy just like neem oil. It has similar insecticidal properties

as neem oil and acts against a number of pests and insects. It is pale yellow in colour and viscous. It is

known for its medicinal and antiseptic properties for centuries in its naive India.

There are plagues of them getting around. .all over the world atm.

 

Apparently your not alone..

 

The farmers were scaring the crickets away with noise..

 

I think Neem will work .. or a chilli mix in a sprayer.
