I watched your presentation on the BBC and absolutely loved your gorgeous lilies. Unfortunately my beautiful lilies have been decimated by the wretched lily bettle. I was even thinking about getting rid of all my bulbs after experiencing this problem for the last 3 years.<br \/>\nThe first year it was a mild problem and each year it has become worse. I don\u2019t like using chemicals in the garden, but this year I used a more chemical-friendly pest control spray (Richard Jackson Pest Control from QVC).  This only works for a few days and then the plants are resprayed.<br \/>\nI have given up now, for this season anyway. Do you have any advice? I definitely need your advice because it would be a shame if these plants \u2018disappeared\u2019 from my garden. <\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p class=\"hubmaster_faq_answer\">Hello there, <\/p>\n<p>Oh the red lily beetle is real pest isn&#8217;t it?! We have been using the Grazers G4 Lily Beetle prevention spray with great results.  You can purchase this spray from us online. It needs spraying regularly and being vigilant is key. <\/p>\n<p>A customer once mentioned to me that they planted their lilies alongside a garlic bulb and that seemed to help deter the lily beetle for them. Perhaps that may be worth a try also. <\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.hartsnursery.co.uk\/Lily-Beetle-Prevention.html\">Lily Beetle Prevention (SKU17972)<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Hope this helps!<\/p>\n<p><em class=\"hubmaster_faq_editor\">The Hart Family<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Hello there,<br \/>\nOh the red lily beetle is real pest isn&#8217;t it?!
