Although B&D Lilies is in the rainy Northwest and there are no Red Lily Beetles reported in our region of Washington State (Olympic Peninsula) or throughout most of the USA, we have been asking our customers in the New England States (where the beetle is found) about their favorite methods of dealing with this relatively new pest.
