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 b}'- the discolored 

 blotch on the bark and by the little heaps of sav^dust 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.
