Narcissus fly

In the commercial trade here in Holland they use a
warm water treatment to get rid of the big narcissus
fly (Merodon equestris). After digging the bulbs they
soak them for 2 hours in warm water (43.5 C) this
kills the larva of the big narcissus fly.
The small narcissus fly (Eumerus strigatus) does not
do much harm to healthy bulbs.
