What is eating holes in my hibiscus flowers?

💡 Our Advice

This is usually caused by earwigs. Fill a clay pot with straw dusted with PY Insect Dust from Vitax or Woodlice Killer from Doff and place it (upturned) on a cane at the same level as the flowers, so that when the insects hide in the straw, they are affected by the chemical.
