How to stop pests eating lemon tree leaves?

The tree has just been transplanted in this spring.

It looks like some pests bite the leaves.

Can someone take a look and give some suggestions for my lemon tree?

Re: How to stop pests eating lemon tree leaves?

Welcome to the Bunnings Workshop community @kevinmel. It's terrific to have you join us, and many thanks for your question about lemon tree care.

There could be chewing insects munching on the leaves, but the deformation also looks similar to what is seen with leaf miners, and I'd suggest this could be the early signs of them. Have a read through this previous topic on Growing and caring for citrus. @Adam_W recommends applying eco-oil to control them. He also suggests removing heavily damaged leaves from the plant and disposing of them in the rubbish bin.

Please let me know if you have any questions.
