Earwigs on my Lemon Tree
Hi, we have a Meyer Lemon tree in a pot. There are a couple of earwigs on
it, munching away at the dead flowers. The tree seems healthy, and I can see the tiny green lemons coming (it's our first year), so all seems normal otherwise. Should I do anything about the earwigs? And if so what? Chris. |

Earwigs on my Lemon Tree
You can trap them with traps made from pieces of crumpled newspaper stuffed
inside a pot you then simply remove them. Chemical control is to use carbaryl. They lay eggs in batches of 20-50 at a time which hatch in 2 weeks after laying. A great book on diseases is what garden pest or disease is that by Judy McMaugh. New Holland press. Heather. "Chris Warr" wrote in message ... Hi, we have a Meyer Lemon tree in a pot.

news snip A great book on diseases is what garden pest or disease is that by Judy McMaugh. New Holland press. Heather. Hi Heather, I actually saw this book referred to in the age today and was thinking of getting it as a present for my parents who have a native garden in Coastal East Gippsland, Victoria. Anyway, if you have the book I just wondered if you could tell me if it has good coverage of pests and diseases affecting native gardens, or is it really for European-type gardens? Any other suggestions of useful references? Your advice would be appreciated. Regards, Erica Abbott ------ To reply, remove x's and z's in address |
