something is eating the leaves so only the veins remain i have put down snailbait signs of a few of them but nothing to compare with the amount of damage done to a large area of plants

Maureen, I've also come across this problem and discovered the culprits are possums - they love emerging leaf growth and if left unattended they can kill off the roots.

Maureen there are small flies like aphids everywhere in my garden taking the goodness out of plants as you describe. I used the appropriate spray and got them out
