TRAPS FOR WIREWORMS.
Wireworme are produced by eggs laid by click beetles. These beetles can be trapped in small heaps of clover placed on boards or tiles about the garden. Every few days remove clover and burn. The board keeps the eggs from the soil
The potato, carrot and beetroot traps may be buried in the soil, leaving the pegs standing out of the ground to denote situation. Make holes in the traps for the pests to eater. Examine regularly and burn.
