My wife has some marigolds in a pot and the flowers seem to be getting eaten
by some bug.She has tried spraying them with Provado Bug Killer from Focus
garden dept.but they are still disappearing.Has anyone else had this problem
and if so how did they cure it.She has other plants in pots near the
marigolds but they seem to be OK I would be grateful for answers to this
problem.

Have a good look under the foliage and also under the pot(s) to see if
there are any snails/slugs lurking about as they love marigolds.

Thanks Emrys.Have not seen any snails around but wife thinks if she
sprinkles salt around the pot that should keep snails away.I'll take her
word for it!!

First make sure they are not resident in the pot! Take a good look under
the foliage!
