on just one of my flowers in the front...every bloom the flower looks like it is half eatin. i cant ever find anything on it or under any leaves though. Also...on the side of my house....i have some very tall growing flowers with very large leaves. the leaves keep having holes inthem. i turn then over to look for bugs...but nothing !!!!

i do occaisonally see those tiny little moth type bugs. not sure what they are but we have them all over. could they be causeing this? it will be impossible to get rid of those...but maybe i can pray something near my flowers ?

Yeah, what you choose to spray with is up to you, there are many things that will work but just because you can't see the bugs doesn't mean they aren't there (or are never there). Some pests are really small and they will devour your plants without barely being able to detect them. Either that or let them eat!

small moth-type things: clearish coloration and very tiny? sounds like aphids. they like LOTS of different plants.

you can just blast them with the hose sprayer (they'll come back though) or spray with some kind of treatment that's made to deter them.
