Ideally action against Sawfly larvae (Pear together with Cherry Slug) starts inward wintertime. What you do then, is actually unlike from what you do inwards summertime. At no betoken do you make anything against adult Sawflies. It is the larvae together with pupae that you lot attempt to eradicate.
