Hey all, my citrus trees are DECIMATED by leaf miners. What the deer don't eat, they do. I have some trees that literally don't have a single leaf not seriously damaged by leaf miners. Today I switched from neem oil and organic stuff to malathion, temporarily.
Next week I should get in an order of wasps to control the leaf miners, wasps for the white flies, and lacewigs for the aphids I get from time to time.
It wasn't cheap, about $280 with shipping. We are getting rain right now so hopefully the malathion will be washed off by the time they arrive. I may even delay it a week, any thoughts are appreciated, I just had to get some kind of knock down!
Has anyone had success with these insects? I guess UF imported these wasps and are releasing them across the state, but I doubt they have here.
Thanks!
