Best trick is to use a vacum cleaner early and often. Try a godfrey's
special if you don't have an old one. empty into an old plastic shopping
bag, knot and stomp on it.

Best toxic substance is confidor. They fall dead out of the tree rather
quickly. so do a pile of other beneficial insects for years afterwards.

Note, if they are visiting your neighbourhood enmass(had that 2 years
ago) you need everyone around to take action.

What about the bees that pollinate the lemons if that is what they do?

That might explain why I ended up with few citrus last season. I know
the native beekeepers hate it.

If you can vacum them up, it is certaily better but two years ago the
whole neighbourhood was crawling with them and it was a loosing battle
and they were badly affecting both trees. so it was used as last resort.

East to detect, just thump the branch and they pong, then seek and
vacumn. they also get annoyed when you mow under the tree or spray water
o e leaves. Spotting them is the hard thing.

Kills them stone dead.

Some uneducated arsehole must have found the local bee hives near my place and nuked them
because there are very few bees (both honey bees and native bees) about this year (Hills
district in Sydney). Hence the yield of fruit and veges that I grow is way down on last
year. :-(

You are right dear, i m completely agree with you. because you have great knowledge about this...

hi
It seems like every morning I awaken and also have to pick two or three from the unpleasant issues from my personal beard in front of the mirror. Men, can there be any way to ensure that they're through moving to your facial hair when you rest?
