Loosing English Peas to seed maggots, understand it is the larve of the wireworm/click beetle. Because of our wet and cold spring weather in Middle Tennessee we are seeing more of them. Any suggestions on how we can get rid of them? We have been to our Extension Office, recommendation was to use Bifenthrin. Seeking other option please!
