Thanks for the input, Ladies :)

And no, Kell, not my corn, Mr. Google again....lol

It's actually 2000 acres of corn I'm surrounded by. And like a true brug nut, if corn beetles were attacking my brugs...well, the corn would just have to go... :)

Raid works well, kills them dead on the spot but I have to also treat the surrounding area. Ortho suggested Bugs-B-Gone Max and we'll see how that goes in the next few days. I've never had such a severe damage before. They only attack the flowers which resemble swiss cheese in a matter of hours.
