Tiny pin-like holes in Parnsip leaves?

[chris]

I've small holes in my parnsip leaves - does this sound that the flea beetle? If so, what can I do to get rid of the things? Will it effect my chances of getting a crop?

Yes, it does sound like flea beetle and yes, you will still get a crop.

Thanks - should I just leave them be? Everything else in that bed seems fine? Onions, Garlic, Beetroot, etc - even the radishes next to the nips!

If anyone has any more advice on the Flea beetle I'll stick it on the Parsnip page of...yes, that site

How about hanging some of those yellow sticky traps near the snips?

Are they releated to the Flea at all? - couple cats seem to like my garden, dunno if they'd come from them. Pretty gross, i have fleas in my garden!!!
