Expert Response

Hello,

Sawflies can be hand-dropped into soapy water. Make sure they are in deep water! Also insecticidal soap can be sprayed.  Dry weather and poor soil can be a problem and we have been very dry.  Hand picking is the best solution without using a chemical product, which we discourage.

Good luck.  Hope for birds helping out by eating their share!
