OP TheGardenerGuy Member Joined: Apr 2003 Northern Illinois	Hi everyone... We have alot of Bearded Iris and every yr we seem to find grubs inside some of them. We use Cygon and it seems to help. Does anyone have any other suggestions to control these pests? Cygon is $$ and smells terrible. Thanks for the help.... Greg :p

Sorry about calling them grubs, the correct name is borers....either way they are a pain..... Thanks for the help! Greg
