I'm currently having the same problem on my naval oranges with a brown bug
that is also having fun with my peach tree (and blends in with it bloody
well too).
I usually knock them into a bucket of hot water but have found that spraying
with homemade white oil kept them off the trees for about 5 to7 days. Not
really sure why, maybe the oil and small amount of detergent in the oil mix
made the tree surface unpalatable. The mix was a bit stronger than usual.
