It'd be roaches then, no slugs or snails here, plus the plants are suspended. Thanks for the info mate

Orthene if you can get the water soluble type rather than the dust or b-cyfluthrin in liquid form are effective sprays. I can find b-cyfluthrin liquid at Ace Hardware

Orthene in powder form is OK for pots but for air roots you need the liquid.

I'll try get some Orthene today then, thanks heaps!
