please help me with this problem and what can i do to prevent or cure it.

Answer 1

BUGS!!! try some vegitation bug spray, not regular kinds cuz they will destroy ur plants. You have to buy a vegitation type so it won't harm your pretty plants and will still zap all the bugs away. okey dokey

Answer 2

Look around your plants.  If you see little black pellets, you probably have worms of some sort.  Or just flip the leaves that have holes in them over...you'll probably find your problem.

Most Looper Moths lay their eggs on plant leaves, the eggs hatch and the Looper Worms eat the plants during the first larval stage.  You would commonly refer to them as "inch worms" although they're not technically such.  

The easiest way (non-chemical) to get rid of these pests is to cut them in half with a pair of scissors.  It will take several days to do this as the eggs hatch in waves.  But once you kill all the worms, your problems should be over....for now.

Answer 3

I bet it's Japanese Beetles.

I use Beetle Traps but you need to be careful where you put the traps. My trees look better this year than they did last year at this time. I put my traps out the first time I saw one. Put the traps as far away from your trees and plants as you can. You won't stop all the destruction they do but I have brought it to a minimal.

Look around and see if you see any of these flying pests. They love to chew on plant and tree leaves.
