Tipping out my pot-grown lilies I found some red lily beetles, what should I do?

Our Advice:

Remove and discard the compost. Wash the bulbs after dividing them before repotting them into fresh compost. As soon as the bulbs show signs of growth next spring, treat with Bug Clear Ultra from Scott's, or Resolva Bug Killer from Westland. You may need to repeat the application several times.
