Holes in Gardenia Leaves

Hello Something is eating holes in my Gardenia jasminoides 'Magnifica' I have attached a picture below. Caterpillars or snails perhaps? I have not seen any insects myself. Can you please recommend a treatment that wont harm my plants? Thank you. Rebecca :)

Caterpillars are the most likely culprits.  Treat with Nature's Way Citrus & Ornamental Spray:

Don't spray it onto any flowers - spray foliage including undersides as much as possible.
