        I believe Colombo meant was, do you have any pictures (photos) of the problem to better diagnose the issue and get recommendations.

          Read this
          European Corn Borers are a voracious pest of corn, potatoes and many other commercial crops causing large-scale yield loss. Control of the damaging larval stage is imperative, but egg and adult moth control should not be overlooked. Following Integrated Pest Management practices will allow you to control multiple life stages of the European Corn Borer without the use of heavily toxic chemical sprays and reduce the amount of input you need to add to your growing process.
