Thanks, Linda and Al, for the info. I believe I'll stick with Merit if I
decide to use chemical warfare against the borers next year. I find that
a very thorough iris bed clean-up keeps the borer population under pretty
good control, but I'd love to eliminate them altogether. It shouldn't be
impossible in my location, as I have no neighbors within a mile as the
moth flies. Just how far is a borer moth likely to be able to fly,
anyway?
