Okay you made me read the instructions. It says effective against Japenese
beetles the spore is harmless to wildlife and plants etc kills LARVAE of
beetles. Does not say Japenese specific. takes two years to build up ( but
what if I doble the amount I use now?) Nothing about everyone is the
subdivision. But if you spray against the beetle in its regular form. Can we
do this? spray cygon 2E, and then merit, and milky spore. the number to
call iis 703 754 3823 on the package which i will do and let you know what
they say. the fight goes on. found a pupae as i divide and replenish soil.
found tiny little borer and big fat ones and I think moths. But since i used
the merit this year , i think it helped.
Some iris are great not touched and others disintergrated into mushiness.
