I'm a little distraught because I planted a tree for my late father, it was thriving until recently, the leaves are hanging down, its kinda looking all sad.
I would hate to dig it back up, been in the garden 2 months now.
I would appreciate any advice on how to get rid of the little critters..

If they're everywhere, you're not going to get rid of them, but I doubt that they're anything to do with the trees problems. I don't know where in the country you are, but here we've had a very dry few weeks, with soil beginning to crack, and any newly planted tree which hadn't been heavily watered would be hanging its leaves.
