Any one know the best way to get rid of lilly beetle?

Just keep picking them off the plant and squishing them. Might sound a bit violent but after you see the damage that they can do, it is almost pleasurable!

Squishing is definitelt the best way.  Sadly they seem to have a defence mechanism to being "picked" off - they fall off - very clever - and play dead.

Yes, that's true. You have to hold one hand underneath them before you attack with the other. That way you get them one way or the other.

Thank I will try beetle picking. I did try setting the chickens on them but their bright red shells were clearly a warning to preditors.

Exactly my tactic too!  Destructive little horrors
