The only iris borers I ever saw in TX were from rhizomes shipped
from the North or East and they quickly died from the heat. What probably
is happening is sow bugs, pill bugs or whatever you want to call them have
tunneled under the crowded rhizomes and made holes. Crickets can do the
same thing to exposed rhizomes.
