Every year it seems these blighters pay a visit, they chew into my chillies, tomatoes and fruit trees.

What is a good way to get rid of them that wont kill my native bees?

G'Day LV,

I have the same problem and I'm wondering how Indian Runner ducks would go. I don't think they cause too much damage but I'm sure someone on the forum will inform us :)

Cheers
Dennis

Silvers eat them and they are the vegetarians of the perch group.
