I know of no organic control; destruction of the crowns is recommended, and possibly removing any nearby wild blackberries.

Hi Mark,

No answers from Nafex...
I have read about the critters and it looks like the only way to get rid of them is to drench the crowns with insecticide.
I don't really want to do that and so will dig all the roots up early in the spring and do an insecticidal soak in some buckets before transplanting them to a new place.

If you can remember in the fall, I'll know for sure if it worked.
