With early applications of Spinosad and Slug Magic I\'ve had the most pest free garden I can remember (mostly flea beetles and slugs in the past.) To my surprise this year, my basil seedlings were badly damaged. It could have been slugs, but why no other plants? If it were later in the season I might suspect earwigs because I probably didn\'t spray the basil with Spinosad, since it\'s historically been pest free. Any ideas?
