One website I read said to get the Bayer season long grub control and in the spring sprinkle a teaspoon over the iris clump. So.... I hate to use chemicals, but that will be my last ditch effort come spring.Karahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10181857114551503683noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3070488376505303445.post-91309587233689145462009-07-29T11:47:12.389-04:002009-07-29T11:47:12.389-04:00What an ugly and insidious creature!

There's nothing pleasant about dealing with Iris borers. I lost 'Enchanted One' to borers last year. I'm certain that's what did it in and I fear 'Edith Wolford' is going to go that way this year. Luckily, that one is easy to come by and I would definitely replace it if it comes to that. If I'd only known better earlier, I probably wouldn't have the infestation I have now. :-(Kylee Baumlehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04288354709094515651noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3070488376505303445.post-7392210865790976192009-07-27T04:23:32.883-04:002009-07-27T04:23:32.883-04:00I've seen the damage but never the culprit.
