O K Thanks for the spelling support.
I wait for increases to show about 2 inches and drench not only the iris but emerging lilies for the RedLily beetle.
The borer problem is worse than the lily problem.
Imidacloprid is in all Bayer products to one percent or another. 12 month Tree and Shrub grub controle is what I have used.
I dont mind using insecticides either.I dilute according to label.
I use SEVIN mid season for the lily beetle.
There are too many lilies here to pick off and kill every beetle.They dont seem to be as prevenant since the spring drench from the past 4 years.
The iris are a modest number. The SDB's I lost had only just started to put up more than 1 stem.Ahhhh well.
