They are in the borders also and eat all types of plants from Sedum to Hydrengea from Clematis to Rasberries, they seem to be the terminator of the insect world. I go out into the garden every Jan and kill the cream with brown head larvae and again in the summer at night with a torch like a nutter to kill the adults, but still they still live. I have tried a couple of pesticides to no avail, has anyone had much success with nematodes and do you find top dressing pots with gravel stops them from laying their eggs in the pots?
