Gardening Know How Questions & Answers - https://questions.gardeningknowhow.comI have some sort of boring pest in crepe myrtles. They bore in and the sap comes out and runs down the trunk. The trees appear to be dying and they haven’t budded out this spring, just trunk. What can I spray them with to get rid of this pest?
