Been doing research in back issues of the Recorder.  Ran across this  
treatment for borers.  Originally posted in the Jan 1998 Bulletin (pg 24)  and 
presented again in a Recorder article by Michael Gullo of NY.   (I've not read the 
original) MG states that the treatment worked better than he  dared imagine.
 
1/2 cup of Murphy's Oil Soap to 1 gallon water.  
 
Weekly sprayings commencing prior to the appearance of the first borers and  
continued through bloom season.  Reapply after rain.  Use in  conjunction with 
good cleanup.  
 
Thought I'd pass this along!
