    Welcome to Gardeners Corner :sign0016: I would guess at a general fungicide, but i'll move this thread into the Lawns forum, as I think some members actively watch that section, more likely to get an answer:)

    Tree Lily and 'bugs'

    Provado will deal with these lilly beetles. I water all my lilies with this a couple of times a summer, and it seems to keep them pest free.

    We've got one like this, though ours is rechargable. Works a treat and gives a very satisfying crack and sizzle when you zapp the blighters.
