My sweet corn plants have unusual shredded damage to the leaves that I don't recognise
coming from snails/slugs. Can anyone shed light on this? I'm wondering if it is from earwigs.
It's starting to look pretty awful so I'll probably need to put some more seeds down.

hi Debbie, went out with a torch last night - baby slugs were on the corn. I picked
them off and hurled them onto the lawn. Oh and I found out centipedes are predators....

I have had the same even with Coke bottles around them. I took a leaf to the local garden centre and they still seem to think it is slugs. I put more beer in my snail traps but when I went out at night with a torch not ONE to be seen!!
