My old Taylor's recommends treatment in the fall with
paradichlorobenzene, placed in a small trench, a ring an inch and a
half away from the trunk. The crystals are covered with soil
which is then packed. They suggest one half to one and a half ounces
per tree depending on size. It warns that trees under 3 yrs of age
can be harmed by this.
Could find no reference of what to do this time of year. Since this
is peach territory, I'll phonel one of the growers in the
morning and ask him. If he has a suggestion, I'lll post it. Good
luck. Pat
