We are experiencing a fair amount of lettuce damage due to wire worms(click
beetles). They only eat the seedlings when they are young-about a week or
two after transplanting in the field. We have tried carrots and potatoes as
a trap crop with little success. We are certified organic so pesticides are
not possible. Any suggestions?
