What can you do if you don't find the borers until August? I've never had borers before, and now they are in nearly every iris I dug up this morning. It was all I could do not to just fling it away from me when I saw the first one squirming in deeper. I am just sick at the destruction they are causing. How do I get rid of these nasty things? I wonder if I got them in the last box of iris I got, because I never had them before. Or maybe they just really thrive in cold, wet springs. Crying
