I am about 50 miles east of the Kansas border (on the Missouri side -
zone 5) and we do have iris borers here though they do not seem to be as
serious of a problem as many have described. Being this close to Kansas
and with nearly identical climate, I would have a hard time believing
that they would not also be there too.
