Don't know if they are the same borers but I lost a peach a paw paw and a
Japanese Walnut. Lindane applied to the trunk after petal fall and at the
end of July works.
Good Luck

Gene, sorry about your trees. There was a series of posts on this forum a
year or so ago dealing with using used window screen to keep out mice. (I
have happily found this quite effective). Then one person added that they
keep out borers also by adding salvaged foam rubber (from an upolstery
place) to seal the top. It seems the borers enter frairly low down on the
tree. Never seen the little monsters myself, just reporting. Del
