Hmmmm....I don't think I actually saw one this year. Usually have
only a very few who concentrate on my Rosa glauca for some reason. I
don't use pesticides (other than a little Safer's on rare occasions)
and am separated from surrounding properties by woodlands and have
very little "lawn". Have always assumed this, and the very active
bird and mole populations, accounted for my not having many of these
pests. Those I do have get squashed and left as notice for others of
their tribe of what will happen to them if they are seen:-) Maybe
they've spread the word?
