How do they find the lillies? There were no other lillies in the vicinity that I know of.
Might there have been eggs in the bulbs?
You really dont need white spirit. It is nasty stuff. Just use a jar with water and a good squirt of washing up liquid. The washing up liqiud breaks and natural oils on the surface of the beetles bodies and they sink and drown very quickly.
Lamweedy , never thought about washing up liquid , originaly used water which didn't really work
Lamweedy is right just use some washing up liquid it works.
