Something just started eating my Hostas yesterday. They have already
destroyed two of them and I am worried they will eat the other ones? Could
it possibly be voles? Any information anyone has would be appreciated. If
it is voles, how to you get rid of them?

Deer?

Or, more likely...SNAILS! The little *******s can do conciderable damage to
them. Lift your potted plants to find night lurkers (if you have any)
underneath, or put out dishes of beer. Although, I hate to think that they
get to "go" out feeling so good!

Good luck,

Are they eaten from the top. Then it's most likely deer. They lover our
hostas, and our day lilies.And they do it quickly.

More like a buffet! You might be thinking of daffodils?

The deer started eating my Hostas (among other plants). I covered them with a fine plastic mesh. The mesh does take away from the look of the garden somewhat but the deer have not bothered the Hostas since. The object was to get the deer to go elsewhere, at least for awhile. The deer are not without other food to eat. They just like to graze their way across our yard and check out the gardens. Jan
