Plants getting eaten!!

hello friendly stoners im new to this forum first time grower ive noticed that there has been big and little holes all along the leaves escpessily on the top of the plant. I killed a grass hopper that was lurking in my plants a week ago and thought I solved the problem, but these holes keep showing up on more and more leaves. Any suggestions/ advice would be greatly appreciated, thanks.

Jack's right we need the pics. But I had a problem w/ little holes on my leaves for a while until I saw a house fly on my plant one day and when he flew off there was a little pin hole where he was. I think the little bastards are to blame. If this is the case just get some yellow sticky traps for gnats.

Tis the season for slugs and snails. Put out a plate of beer or yeast sugar and water for the little suckers and see what ya get. If you check at night you just might find them on your leaves. I assume they are being eaten from the bottom up.

the beer thing works. I had a plant eaten like that. She had been sickly when I put her out, should have ditched her because I had 3 others in good shape but it didn't hurt anything. Anyway, i saw a snail one day and asked what to do about it and was told the beer trick.

I buried solo cups to ground level and almost filled with beer next to each plant, even the healthy ones. I had about 20 snails in cups today, had no clue there were that many. I ended up pulling the sick girl, it was the right thing to do "sniff".
