Slugs and Caterpillars Eating Sarracenia Pitchers

Connor (South Mississippi) moved Sarracenia to a sunnier spot but found holes in S. flava, S. leucophylla, S. alata pitchers—overnight or during work hours.

S. flava var. rubrico

S. alata 'Night'

Jeff Dallas: Slugs/snails—check at night, look for slime trails (visible in photo). Find hiding spots, use beer traps or iron phosphate bait (Sluggo). Elevate pots. For stubborn ones: plastic/wood piece across pot with liquid bait (Deadline)—keep away from pets. Also check top photo for caterpillars (damage looks more insect-like)—hand-pick and feed to flytraps.

Good Growing!
