I would say slugs. The earwigs don’t seem to bother my dahlias until they flower. But slugs, they are the culprit for me.

I planted 9 dahlias in pots. 2 of the pots were grow bags. Earwigs destroyed all of the ones in regular pots. They didn't touch the ones in the grow bags. Not sure why. This is my first time planting dahlias. Not sure if I'm going to plant them next year.

What should I use?

[@dominasagway]

Use insecticide dust or diatomaceous earth around the base of the plants. They spend the day in the mulch and climb up the plant at night. So that way you don’t have to apply poison to the plant. Just the ground around it.

Vegetable oil and soya sauce traps work. I filled a pot in one night, they attacked my new pear tree, left nothing behind.
