Raining. Again with the rain. If I have any borers they have drowned by now.....

Definitely going to have to keep the slugs and snails in control this year. I know you can use borax in garages and such to control crickets and grasshoppers because they eat it and it tears up their insides. Would a sprinkling of borax effect slugs? I wonder if it would effect the soil too. And would it hurt a rhizome? If not, you could sprinkle some on the rhizome instead of Seven dust to keep crickets from eating the rhizomes. Can anyone chime in and let me know what they think? Don't want to hurt the iris.
