Carol Butler on Jul 07, 2014This is the first year in several that we haven't been inundated with those red beetles. Another way to fight them is with diatomaceous earth that is used in inground pool filters. It's like a powder and does work.Helpful Reply

Marion Nesbitt on Jul 08, 2014Those red beetles are killing lilies up here, too. Bright red, flatter than a lady bug. Have had to inspect my lilies every day and do them in manually.Helpful Reply
