Default Neem for leafminers

It has been so long since I used it I dont remember which systemic. big tall round
cylinder of a can.
malathion is poisonous to everything without a functioning liver. otherwise, it is
pretty useful when used correctly to treat existing infestation. it biodegrades
pretty fast too. Ingrid

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.
