Staghorns with Bugs

Posted by hedgie qld aust (My Page) on

Does anyone know what to use to kill the grubs that live in the back parts of Staghorns. They bore holes into the green growing part of the plant. I have heard it suggested to dunk them in a bucket of something to get rid of these creatures but mine are growing on a palm tree at the moment. Although if I don't do something quickly they will shrivel up as the grubs are getting the upper hand.

thanks

Hedgie,

You could try Carbaryl as it is usually pretty good at killing those sort of things.
