Borers are also controlled by parasitic wasps. I think ichneumans particularly. Anything you can do to provide nectaries for the adults--probably flowers related to dill (Apaceae Family). They used to be a major pain for me until I put large numbers of flowers into the landscape that attract beneficial wasps. Water year round helps too.

About a fifth of my peach trees have died this winter due to trunk
girdling by
the borer. Are there any suggestions to minimize the damage beyond good
soil,
good sanitation, and good thoughts?
