Yes, as soon as you see invaders of any kind spray your plants with Sevin. I use the powder form and you can buy a puff applicator at the store. While trying to be completely organic, it's almost impossible. On the Sevin bottle or package you will see how soon after an application it is safe to harvest and eat. If it is an underground invader, put a tin coffee can both ends open over your new plant and push it down into the ground. Bore worms typically will not go under the tine to get to your plants roots. One lesson learned the hard way.....when you have plants you are planting, water them a bit every day until you can see they have take hold. Then try not to over water or their root system will not go deep. On seeds planted, water every day until your seedling are consistently growing bigger every day.
