How to treat citrus trees with grubs?

Hello,

I have a three citrus plants but they are all struggling, I think due to gurbs. 

I have been reading and watching videos and they all kind of contradict each other. I have already bought EcoGrub. Can I just spray it on the ground or the plant?

Re: Citrus care

Hello @amanm 

 

Thanks for sharing your question about your citrus plant. If your leaves are curling and you see white squiggly tracks on your leaves, this is an indicator that you have citrus leaf miners infesting your tree. I suggest spraying your tree with OCP 500ml Eco-Oil Concentrate in combination with Aqua Systems 2L Garden Pressure Sprayer. My best advice is to spray underneath the leaves as well to get full coverage.

 

Please make sure to wear personal protection such as gloves, goggles and a mask when using sprays in your garden.

 

If you need further assistance, please let us know.

 

Eric

Good morning @amanm Yes as Eric mentioned your Citrus Tree is being attacked by Citrus Leaf Miners. Very common this time of year.
