I was weeding and cleaning out my iris beds yesterday and found that some of my rhizomes were squishy. I pulled out stuff and found this anemic (but well fed) nasty worm about an inch and a half long inside one of my rhizomes! Ick, ick, ICK!! I put it in a ziplock and asked my neighbor who confirmed that it is an iris borer.
Here's my question for you all: what is the best thing to do to treat my iris beds to get rid of these nasty things? I think I have them in other beds, too- just not as badly. I did get a ton of satisfaction smashing it but can't smash them all! :) Thanks for your help!!!
Best,
Susie
