I’m definitely giving this a try! I just got back from vacation and was excited to see blooms but upset that upon looking closer they’ve been chewed up! 🤬I shook at least a dozen out onto the driveway and started stamping like a madwoman.
Sorry but i cant help but laughing looking at you applying the petroleum jelly up and down.. up and down.. up and down.. hahahahahahaahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha
I'm going to try this. This is my first year growing them in my garden and the blooms are so beautiful until something is eating them. Sometimes before they even open. So I suppose I have found out what is eating them and what to do. Thanks!
I tried this, still found some that night. Just resorted to checking them each night and shaking them off into a bowl. Seems to have reduced the numbers a lot. Or I could just get a flame thrower. 🙄
Good tip. But something is eating all the leaves and destroying my plants. What is it and how do I stop it? I haven't seen any pests around the Dahlias, all I can see are eaten up plants! Thanks.
A good question,, I'm not sure, I guess it might as I've not had any damage to the blooms when I've used this method so maybe it does, however, I do protect my plants from slugs and snails anyway so it's difficult to say for sure.

Great thanks! The more tools in your tool box the better :)
Excellent, thank you.
Doesn't help much when they have stripped the leaves
Brilliant thank you !

Will Vaseline work the same way...?
