Something is eating holes in my green bean plants. I also saw a couple on my Zuccini and alot on my pea plants that are close to the ground. NOt sure what to do but I did hear an old wise tale aboutt spraying castile soap on plants. I also heard one about hot pepper spray. I don't see any bugs though??? Sad

Please post a picture so that way we can see the damage so that you can receive the best advice possible. Maybe we will see a bug in the picture that you didn't see.

welcome to the forum!

Based on your current climate and description, sounds like slugs to me. They love peas, beans and lettuce (and especially clover!), but aren't too picky and will ravish anything. I have been battling them bad this year. Take a flashlight out at night...especially after or during a rain and you will likely find your culprits and lots of them. I have tried the cayenne pepper/garlic/soap mix but it doesn't seem to last long. Sluggo and Sluggo Plus are the best (mostly organic) options I have used successfully on them. You can also mix cornmeal (they love it!) and Diatomaceous Earth and set it in lids/traps around your victim plants...but I needed too many to be successful enough. You can also hand pick them at night and drop them in a little ammonia water for an instant death (this was by far the grossest thing I've ever done). pale

The next best guess would be the tiny brown leaf hoppers (not sure if that's the technical name). They are showing up heavy this year and can really do big damage for being so small. You'll find them hiding in the crevices of plants when it's hot and shouldn't be too hard to catch them in the act...but they move quickly! The hot pepper spray and also an alcohol spray seems to work well on them, but you really have to stay on top of them.

Be sure to add pics when you can and good luck with your battle! okay

Welcome to the SFG Forum. I find it impossible to answer the question about the holes in your leaves without more information. Would you be able to post a photo? Have you seen any critters, insects, slugs on your plants?
Not sure about spraying castile soap directly and at full strength is wise until you know what you are up against.
