Is there any way I can get rid of the scarlet lily leaf Beetle other than removing them and squishing there eggs ….any advice would be appreciated don’t want to harm the honey 🐝bees with insecticide…. I have read about them but just wondered if there maybe someone out There with a different method that has worked ….long shot I know 😂.

yes it is a suitable safe usage. But use it after sundown when the bees etc have gone 'home'.
Every time I walk past my lilies I look for the adults, remove and crush them. I seem to have fewer this year until others fly in.

I do the same as SBG, whenever I'm near my lilies I look & squish any beetles I spot.
There do seem to be fewer this year, which may be the results of three years doing it, or possible just “wrong” weather for them.

Neem oil mixed with a soft soap is probably the least harmful to bees. It does work.
