Default Corn Borers

My seedling corn is being nibbled away and I am not sure who is doing the
nibbling.

Do corn borers attack seedlings or just larger plants?

What sort of pesticide will control this problem?

I am using Malathion but it does not seem to help much.

Rabbits will do that if there's no fence to keep them out. I gave up growing
corn because of borers. No amount of spraying or insect powders worked to
keep them away or kill them.
