Bugs infesting stems

Something is boring into the stems
you can see the bulging in the stems and waste deposits?? left outside

any suggestions?


Thanks

Does not look too good my friend, I had a similar insect bore a hole into a stalk of mine last year, then it spewed out some funky eggs or something like your pics, perhaps they are larvae that use the inner stalk for metamorphasis then they mature and fly away, fact of the matter is that my plant looked fine afterwards but in mid September the lower stalk succombed to a fungus and it just fell over on itself! Just that one hole weakened the whole plant, you've got an infestation and your stalks are bulging! That didn't happen to me. Could be a beatle or something, the damage is detrimental, I'm not sure what to tell you. I'll attach my link from last year.

Nasty...never seen this...where do you live, generally like south US, north, west, east etc...never seen this in British Columbia, Canada or in Nova Scotia where I am now.

Here is my thread from last year, hope it gives you more info

The pics are disturbing at best, the last one looks like it's maturing inside the stalk, freaky, they are parasites that use the stalk as a host, usually in mid summer it seems, later in the season there will damage, how can one heal the wounds? Any natural sprays or treatments, I haven't seen any this year so far yet last year it was just one and it created me some damage with a rotten base stem.

I read about those I think it was when i was reading about B.T bacillus Thorengenus I think you can inject her stalk with solution to save her...
