My snake plants are being eaten. I washed the leaves and removed a beetle two days ago but the damage keeps spreading. Is there a way to save them?

Sometimes it can be really big fruit flies or flies. This has happened to me and I got rid of them by putting cinnamon on the dirt and it can prevent other flies from coming.

If it is flies too, or a similar flying insect, I usually set out a little dish with apple cider vinegar with a bit of soap in it - works as a trap. Bonus points if the dish/container has a small neck/is covered with some little holes in it so they can’t escape. I’m doing this right now in addition to been oil plant treatments for a pest problem I have!
