No insecticide other than a systemic can get at the mining grubs and once the leaves have it they remain damaged. However, it actually does little harm to the plant, it is only unsightly. All I ever do is to remove the affected leaves, a few at a time.
Binning the plant seems a little excessive.
Shasta daisy to me means Leucanthemum forms, is that what you have? Or do you mean something different? Not that it makes much difference to the prggnosis.
