red beetles on lilies

18 years ago

This may have been a topic on this forum already, but this is my first time posting here. Several of us in this area of VT have been afflicted with red beetles on our Asiatic and other lilies. The larva leave behind poopy stuff on the stems. It definitely affected the blooming. We are wondering what to use to get rid of them permanently. Thanks in advance for any advice.
