Hi everyone...
We have alot of Bearded Iris and every yr we seem to find grubs inside some of them. We use Cygon and it seems to help. Does anyone have any other suggestions to control these pests? Cygon is $$ and smells terrible.
Thanks for the help....
Greg

I would read up on it first, but have you tried spraying Nematodes or using Diazinon? What is Cygon? Catlover

Hi....I'm not sure if i am spelling it right....We bought it at a nursery because they said it was the best thing to control iris borers..It has to be mixed with water and put in a spray bottle. Sorry about calling them grubs, the correct name is borers....either way they are a pain..... Thanks for the help! Greg
