Does anyone know how to get rid of airwigs they are in the ears of corn in my garden?

Answer 1

Make garlic water or purchase from a garden catalog or garden center, and spray the silk on each ear with it.  That will repel the little beasties, and also repel corn earworms.  

To make your own garlic spray, chop one or two garlic bulbs,

place them in a quart jar and pour boiling water over the garlic, enough to fill the jar.  Close the jar and let it sit overnight.   Strain out the chunks of garlic and add the garlic water to your sprayer along with a few drops of liquid soap.  

Leftover garlic water can be kept frozen for later use.
