How do you get rid of wireworm?

Q.

How do you get rid of wireworm please? Tried building new raised gardens but somehow they still got in there.

Mary Stringer

A.

Wireworm lives in the soil and is easily spread. Cultivate the soil as much as possible, as this disturbs the larvae and halts the lifecycle, however this can take a long time.

You can treat the ground with a prill or product that is registered to control grass grubs, however this isn’t ideal to use in areas where you are going to grow food. Alternatively, remove all the soil from the beds and replace with a fresh mixture bought in from another site, i.e. do not use any soil from your current garden.
