MONOGRAPH OF THE GENUS SAPERDA 75 



Remedies. Dr Lugger advises the use of a soft soap and paris 

 green wash as a preventive of oviposition. He states that the 

 presence of the larvae is also easily discovered by the discolored 

 blotch on the bark and by the little heaps of sawdust that are 

 pushed out by them during their boring operations. 



The grubs may be killed by means of a wire or with a pruning 



knife.
