Question:
Besides turning the soil is there another way to kill wire worms?
​​
Answer:
Turning the soil often will help reduce the wire worm population. University of Memphis Director of Landscape Joellen Dimond suggests rotating crops. Plant something the wire worms don’t like to eat for a few years before you plant sweet potatoes in that same place again.
