Hi all,
I recently bought and planted a Dwarf Meyer lemon tree. It seems to be doing well, but it has these insects all over the pot (and in the compost). It doesn't appear thus far they are eating the leaves, but I wouldn't mind getting rid of them! Any ideas on what they are and what I can do to remove?
Thanks
Hi Sam
Can you take a photo of the insects. There are various options but it depends on the insect. Could they be flying ants?
If they are not affecting the tree you may decide to leave them. Your options are:
Insecticides of both types (contact and systemic) will kill all the insects that feed the same way,both good and bad.
Sticky yellow insect traps - they too will attract a range of insects.
Please send me a photo.
