red bug

rharmer@ asks:

Question

I have red bugs on my lilies, this seems to be happening all over the neighborhood. It was suggestd that we spray with sevin. So doing this do I wait and cut back the plant after there is no sign of the bugs anymore and then spray around the base and the soil? As I have heard these insects will go into the soil and come back the following season. Which I hope will not be the case. Thanks, looking forward to your reply. wpg. mb. can.


Answer

Hard to say exactly without knowing what species the red bug is, many insects require different control. Be sure to fallow the directions on the sevin more is not better. Sevin is not meant to be used as a soil drench only as a foliar application.
