Girls are being eaten alive - Help

[newbie 2]

My girls have been in my room in soil for 3 weeks now and something is eating the leaves, mostly the lower leafs, i have two girls going and the leaves that are being attacked are random on both plants...I have lots of those yellow sticky papers and have stirred around the soil and nothing, I have looked with magnifying glass and flashlights and nothing...now i have only looked when the lights are on 18hrs..any suggestions on catching this pest
thanks in advance

Slugs/Snails .
Caterpillars .
Cabbage Loopers
Cats/Dogs .
Etc.

Any of these will eat away at your cannabis.

Many years ago I had plants disappearing in my room. One day I seen a rat and caught it. Plants never disappeared again.

I put a couple of beer traps in for the slugs and i should put a mouse trap in as well...

How long do you leave your plants out of sight? What time during the day/night would you say they're being eaten?

I check up on them about every 12 hours..last night i put two mouse traps and some beer traps..no takers yet, so today I put a surveillance camera on them..hope the night infrared light doesn't bother them

 

[newbie 2]

Oh...im sure there being eaten at light out 11pm to 5am

You have to show us the camera footage! I can't wait to see what it is. My cat chews on my lower leaves but since you don't have pets, it must be a critter.

I really want to see that footage as well. It doesn't look like it's one of those tiny critters like aphids or mites....more like caterpillar or beetle...must come out to eat at night and then hides.

Bet it's a mouse. Been there done that. .

 

[ProOrNoIGrow]

It's me

 

[The Germinator]

Look someone else. Same problem. Mice.

 

[newbie 2]

I had put down 2 mouse traps, about 15 6x8 yellow sticky mats, 2 beer traps...and after all that nothing for 3 days no munching...nothing on the recordings..when I speed up the recording those upper leaves really move around at night..I just put down some Diatomaceous Earth Food Grade powder..we shall wait and see...kinda a cat and mouse game now
Thanks all for your input

 

[Clancy]

Something living in the soil? Can we see the recording?

 

[newbie 2]

Day 5 and no damage to the leaves...hopefully the pest has died or moved on..I will have to figure how to get the recording off the DVR on to a MP4 format...
