I control Lily Beetle in my garden by ; picking off and destroying but I don’t have many beetles but lots of lilies because:
Take 2 decent sized garlic cloves boil in 1 litre of water simmer for 3 minutes and cool. Once cold sieve with fine mesh or I use muslin and decant into a sprayer. Spray lilies once a fortnight from time leaves appear and in growth until they die down. Doesn’t effect the smell and seems to make the beetles disappear?

these are extremely destructive little pests i do have a lot of lilies and i have found that carefully checking the undersides of the leaves for the eggs can help if you remove them early then you can limit the damage to your plants
