Hi, we have found symphylans in our garden beds and are wondering if you have any advice on how to deal with them. We used cut potatoes to test for their presence and found many on the surface of them, so it appears to be a pretty heavy infestation. They have especially devastated any brassicas we have tried to grow. Any advice would be greatly appreciated!
