Wireworms Sentence Examples

Among the Coleoptera or bettles there is a group of world-wide pests, the Elateridae or click beetles, the adults of the various " wireworms."

By growing mustard and ploughing it in green the ground is made obnoxious to the wireworms, and may even be cleared of them.

In a fresh state it is poisonous and fatal to vegetation, and is often used for this reason to dress land infested with wireworms, grubs, club-root fungus, &c.
