Pest damage is easier to handle when you know the signs 🐛 A few things I check first:
🌿 Look under leaves, because eggs and larvae often hide there.
🕳️ Tiny round holes can point to flea beetles, while big chewed patches often mean caterpillars.
🍅 Hornworms can strip tomato plants fast, so I check stems closely.
🥒 If squash wilts even after watering, I always inspect for squash bugs.
💧 Avoid spraying randomly until you know what you’re dealing with.
Catching the problem early usually makes it much easier to fix before the whole plant suffers.
