Re: Re iris borers


Personally, I squash them in the leaves if I see the leaves are
starting to streak, indicating the little blighters are starting
their dirty work... or stab them to death if they've already hit the
rhizome.

This Neb Guide has more info. than you ever wanted to know about them
plus recommendations for dealing with them.
