borer treatments?

Hi all
I received the following and gave a reply but since I have never had a borer 
problem myself, I don't feel totally qualified on the subject. Would any of 
you who have battled borers, like to give this grower some advice.
Thanks
Marv

      I have a question:
      
      I just noticed on my largest vine (i have 2 vines) that I have the 
      vine borer. I cut carefully into the stem, near the base of the plant 
      and pulled out a half inch white grub or worm. Have you ever had these 
      and do know how I can treat these. I hate to loose my plant as i 
      currently have a 60inch circumference fruit on this one. I probably 
      should have put down preventative treatment but being my first year, I 
      suppose I have to learn by mistakes.
      
      Thanks again for your assistance.

     Hank
     I would be more than happy to send you seeds. I'll try to get them out 
     this week.
