How can I stop red lily beetles destroying my Fritillarias?

Our Advice:

You will need to either pick off every beetle by hand or spray as soon as you see the first sign of the beetles feeding on your plants. Use either Bug Clear Ultra from Scott's or Resolva Bug Killer from Westland. One application will last for several weeks and will kill the insects as they feed. A second application may be needed to get full control.
