As for the "caterpillar" marks, show us some photos and perhaps we can diagnose the problem!

Sounds nasty indeed.Cinnamon I like the sound of that would you mind telling me how to apply.I personally hate chemicals so anything natural sounds good.
Photos I will try take some next weekend .Middle Winter here and dark too early
Thanks in advance for youyr help
regards
Manfred
