Iris Borers

18 years ago

Noticed that the top of my iris leaves were browning and then gradually dying back. Today I dug them out of the garden and found Iris Borers. I went through the plants piece by piece eliminating all the unhealthy tubers. The remaining plants I have repotted in pots until I can watch them a little longer. I will probably keep them in the pots in the garage over the winter to make sure there is no sign of any more borers. Is there any need to treat the ground where they were planted. I had read about treating the tubers with a diluted solution of bleach and water. Do you know if this works to kill any borers that I have missed, and what strength would you use. Thanks for your help.
