Hi all,
Just noticed today a few of my trees where really struggling with droopy leaves etc
And saw both were heavily infected with these little terrors !! :x

A few have wings as well.

I just put them in the shade & gave them a big hit of confidor,

What are they ? Also how concerned do I have to be of them migrating over to my other trees ?

Thanks in advance.

Ross

For sure. They're probably on anything that was sitting next to the effected trees.

All sorted thanks, gave the tree a big hit of confidor & then again today with a mix of pyrethrum,water,garlic & chilli !
