Very strange, I do not know who is eating inside the buds of my carnations, also my pansies are half eaten? I am also being bitten and I do not know by what, very itchy, blotchy and red.

    Carnations could be eaten by eary wigs (earwigs). As for bites on you - are you being bitten when you are indoors or out?

    belive it or not we have mozzies over here i saw the 1st one today so that could be the cause of your biting and as for your plants the ladybirds are about extra early this year and at the mo there normal food sorce aint about so they are eating what they can spray the plants the same way as you do roses with water and washing up liquid they will soon stop

    I just start itching when both indoors and outdoors and get red, blotchy areas just like an allergy, it's itching like mad. I asked hubby whether we have got bugs in the mattress. I am the only who got bitten, even when I had a very thick jumper on me. I do not know how these little !!!!!!s get into biting me. My blood must be sweet.At first, I thought it was an allergy, but my neighour said it looks like insect bites.
