Default Neem for leafminers

What kind of systemic product did you use? Someone mentioned using
malathion, but we have dogs and an outdoor cat, so I was concerned about the
stuff getting in their eyes. Isn't Malathion highly poisonous? Right now the
leaves are blistering, and I suppose the eggs are beginning to hatch. I am
in zone 7, Virginia. I have done a little research on boxwood leafminers,
and know what they are and how they work, but just don't have any experience
with using systemics.

they are in, not on the leaf. I dont think so. how about a systemic? I
used it to
get rid of leaf miners on a birch. worked great. Ingrid

I have leafminers on my boxwood hedge. Someone gave me Neem concentrate to
spray on the boxwood. Does anyone know if Neem will effectively kill the
leafminers?
