Shoot me if you must but I gave up being nice with these pests. I've tried a few chemicals, mostly the type used on fruit trees because I have fruit trees. They worked OK for a while.
Then someone told me about Ortho Home Defense Max, an indoor spray. It lasts a long time and kills these beetles without hurting other bugs just passing through. Even the praying mantis are unaffected and they live in the same flower beds.
I carefully spray only the lilies as soon as they sprout in spring and again a month later and I'm done for the season. The lilies are in the flower bed well away from the veggies & berries.
This is the third season using this product and I'm convinced it's the way to go.
My 7 year old Tiger Lily has 5 stalks this year with a total of 75 buds. It had 4 stalks & 60 buds last season.
The Lollipops speak for themselves.
