Re: Borers In Southern Ontario
Jamie, and Sherri,
They are around. Already have seen the adult moth this year. Eggs are very
hard to see and the moth is very shy but you can't miss it. I live in St
Catharines. My mom had 10 borers in her vines last year and we cut them out
and she lives in Brantford. Also I was at George Lloyd's late last year in
the fall and he had visible signs of the borer. So yes they are in Southern
Ontario.
