Sally 0 Report post Posted July 4, 2021 This is the first year I have seen this red beetles on my lilies. It is making a mess of the foliage. Has anyone else had this problem. What is the best way to deal with it? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Margaret Thele 16 Report post Posted July 5, 2021 Sally, did you try and post a picture? If not could you try and attach one? I don't like to recommend controls unless I'm sure of the pest. A good overall insecticide is an insecticidal soap, but in hot weather it can burn the foliage and certainly the flowers. If you've got a picture please try and post so we all can learn from your issue. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sally 0 Report post Posted July 6, 2021 I found this article on line from garden supply that gives a good overview of the lily beetle. It seems it is new to this area.https://www.gardeners.com/how-to/lily-beetle/8090.html Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
