Dale, They love Iris bulbs too. A neighbor of ours suggested spraying diluted Dawn dish detergent around the outside of the house..I already know it works wonders on keeping the dogs free of fleas.. We tested the Dawn solution by encircling one of the little earwig varmints on the carport ... It crawled around inside the circle a few mins...then walked through the mixture...and it died just seconds later.. Would the Sluggo Plus be safe to spray my Irises ? I am afraid to try the dawn on them.
