Slugs and snails top the Royal Horticultural Society’s annual list of the top ten garden pests again this year, as they have done for the last eight. These common garden pests can cause damage all year round, affecting seedlings and many ornamental plants and vegetables. Plants often affected include potato tubers, hosta leaves and narcissus flowers.
Entering the list for the first time, at number seven, is the allium leaf miner, first detected in Britain in 2002. Having spread from eastern and central Europe the pest was originally found in Wolverhampton, but more recently it has begun to spread to new areas throughout Britain.
