Does anyone know of any natural pest control remedies? I went outside earlier this evening to check on my plants and found on pothos plant completely stripped of its leaves. I'm afraid the other plants will look the same very quickly if I don't act fast. I don't really know what kind of insect ate the leaves off the plant. Its just strange because all that was eaten was the leaves and the rest of the plant is still very green, so I'm guessing this "bug" or "pest" had its big meal today lol.
Any suggestions or has this ever happened to you??

Hmm. I haven't had pests problems (not counting some people I know) in years. But I did find a site with some possible help for you. It is: www.eartheasy.com. If you can get a glimpse of what's attacking your plant you might be able to track down the remedy on this site. Good luck!

Haven't had a glimpse of the "pest" yet, but maybe I can find something on the site you suggested to give me a clue.

Try putting gravel around the base of the plant, if it is slugs or snails they do not like to go over gravel. You can buy greasebands as well which work quite well. To keep spiders away put conkers (horse chestnuts) in the corner of the room, pierce them with a skewer first.

Thanks. Any suggestions on where to find "greasebands" at?
