Carol,
       Cleaning out the dead leaves will also reduce infestation of Iris 
Borers, but having lived in Kentucky myself, you are right about spraying 
them.  Irises are very hardy, and I am sure they will come through the winter 
fine.  The worst thing is frost heaving, when there are a lot of freeze-thaw 
cycles.  If you see an Iris rhizome that is lifted off the ground, step on it.
