Hi Mjdojcm,
Here is a link that does a good job of explaining what they are and what you can do in defense of your garden.

Mjdojcm, I would pick all of the mealworms or grubs out, mash them with corn meal or leftover fish, then use the mash as fertilizer throughout the garden. Wild boars eat grubs exclusively if they are available, and will do anything to get to the grubs in your yard and garden. Very best wishes for safety and a great garden.
To Nona, under the next question. You are so caring to think of hummingbird baths! They need the cleansing, refreshing bath as much as other birds—and no colored sugar water, either! Best wishes!
