Hello, I would love if anyone could give me assistance in how I can get rid of whatever it is that is destroying the foliage on me Lilly Pilly hedge. There are clumps of leaves covered in like a spiders web in one group. And then I have another group which has lost all its foliage as it is in the shadow of the house.
I have taken samples to my local flower power and one guy said they are spiders and we should let them be and another said to keep spraying eco oil and conguard. But that hasn't helped either. I can't be the only person out there having these problems o would love to hear from anyone as to how they have won the battle.
Hi @ktrassadmin,
Welcome to the Bunnings Workshop community, it is wonderful to have you with us.
I am sorry to hear you are experiencing a similar issue to @Loxton.
If you can get a clearer photo of the insects you are dealing with, this may help our members assist with both yours and Loxton's issue, as at this point, I can't identify what insect is causing the problem.
Do you also have silk-like webbing in your lilly pillies? I note that some caterpillars do produce web like structures similar to spiders' webs.
If you are able to, could you upload a photo of them? Let me know if you need a hand with this.
Hopefully we can help to identify them and offer some solutions moving forward.
Jacob
Thank you Jacob, I’ll do my best to get a photo of them. There is web, I’ll see whether there is silk too.
