hi, is there a natural predator for viburnum beatle? I have them , holes in leaves, shredded leaves . it isn't too bad at the moment but I have actually seen them. is there any natural predator I can introduce does anyone know? I also have a fledged blackbird living in it at the moment and I'm wondering if that would eat them anyway ? tis lovely to watch mummy and daddy bringing in the worms ..... wishing it will eat the nasties too

gosh , so much hard work haha ..... well I have (nagged and nagged) hubby and pruned and pruned my vibrunum until it looks very very sad all day long today. I will feed and mulch tomorrow and hope it recovers - see how pans out next spring but I will have the spray (really don't like spraying anything but this is worth it I think) ready for the little beasties! !! thanks mucho, let's hope all pans out well for it xxx
