FOE. Perhaps these eat smaller bugs, but I’m sure Mantids (Mantises) eat leaves too.

FOE. Crushed eggshell around the perimeter and individual plants. Beer traps work very well as do bricks, feet etc.
Snails

IMPARTIAL. I’m sure these don’t do any harm. Initally alarmed as the seem to have destroyed a couple of herbs.
Expect the plant to have already died and they just ate the dead parts. Numbers seemed to swell mid summer.
