That are on my tangerine tree, have already tried white oil but it doesn't
seem to work.


Joebee, I believe I have heard on radio gardening programs that pest oil
(maybe white oil, also) is effective in controlling the bronze orange bugs
but ONLY if you begin spraying early in winter when the bugs are starting
to hatch and are at a stage of being too small to even see, AND THEN
maintain a spraying regimen every 2 or 3 weeks through to crop picking.

You do realize that the bugs will fly in from a neighbour's infested tree,
too?
