What do I use to keep ear worms out of my corn?
I have a decent stand of sweet corn and would like to enjoy it myself instead of feeding the ear worms. Anybody have any advice?

put rubber bands or closepins on the tips to keep them out or there is an insecticide that is for it but dont remember the name - ask at a nursery or garden center. Hope this helps.

GR5 should chime in shortly. He grows one heck of a corn crop every year. I believe their is some type of oil you can use in the corn stalks when they first develop. A couple drops in each stalk keeps those nasty worms out.
