I have just discovered saw worms on my gooseberry bushes. What should I use to get rid of them?

Or use Provado Ultimate Bug Killer (suggested by RHS website). There is also a nematode solution made by Nemesys for gooseberry sawfly, completely non toxic, natural and effective - available online, google for info.

Thank you - I will go outside and do it now.

But cheer up - even if they eat most of the leaves it doesn't seem to kill the plant.

Pick them off, or spray with a solution of eco friendly washing up liquid or horticultural soap. They wont kill the plant just eat all the leaves.
