(Lilioceris lilii) is a garden pest which is very destructive to
lilies and fritillaries. Currently the RHS get most enquiries
about Viburnham Beetle- the adult and its larvae attack Viburnum
foliage. Control both Lily and Viburnum Beetle by spraying with
this natural Lily Beetle Spray based on pyrethrum - natures own
insecticide. This spray can also be used to control Raspberry
Beetle, Greenfly and Blackfly, Whitefly and Flea Beetle. Lily
Beetle Spray is supplied in a 1 litre ready to use spray bottle
- just spray and go! Lily Beetle - The red lily beetle is about
8 - 10 mm long. The adults spend the winter in sheltered places
in the garden (not necessarily near lilies) before emerging in
late March - May to feed on the lilies. They lay their eggs
underneath the leaves throughout the summer and these eggs take
about a week to hatch into larvae, which then feed on lily
foliage leaving holes in the flowers and leaves. It takes 2
weeks for the larvae
