Any advice please AAAGGGHHHH MickTry 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.

itchybromusic Posted November 6, 2020 Report Share Posted November 6, 2020 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
micmac Posted November 6, 2020 Report Share Posted November 6, 2020 Put something else in there for them to eat Put a plastic bottle over them at nightCrushed eggs shells and coffee granules around plants Snails won't cross the egg shell , slugs hate coffeeSea salt around the perimeter, snails or slugs won't crossPlant some dill around the edges of plants , Heaps moreDishwasher detergent and water spray Sent from my SM-T510 using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

itchybromusic Posted November 8, 2020 Report Share Posted November 8, 2020 (edited) online 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.

The farmers were scaring the crickets away with noise.. I think Neem will work .. or a chilli mix in a sprayer.
