Its the growing season again and all those fortunate enough to have a garden can start to enjoy the fruits of the work you put in during the spring months - - - but are you plagued by pests?

I have had to cope with various things in the past like aphids and slugs but on a different forum (USA based) some guy had a problem with holes in his lawn and members not only gave suggestions as to what had caused them, they mentioned also, their problem pests! All I can say is that I am glad I live in England!!

This is what they complained of in order of size(ish)
Aphids
Spiders (1000's of li'l black ones on lawn)
Fire Ants (Having to wear boots in summer to cross the meadow)
Grasshoppers
Mole Crickets (whatever they are)
Slugs and Snails
Japanese Beetles (eat anything in their path apparently)
Voles and Moles
Packrats
Gophers
Squirrels
Chipmunks
Possum
Skunks
Raccoon
Groundhog
Rabbits
Armadillo
Fox
Deer
Moose

If they find any Black snakes, they are to be encouraged as they eat copperhead snakes which are extremely venomous

Do YOU have any unusual pests in your garden (apart from family members)
