Default Can citrus leafminers be controlled?

I live in Southern California. During the last two years, my mandarin orange
trees have developed curled leaves, reduced fruiting and severe loss of
leaves. They used to be lush and loaded with Satsuma Oranges. Now they are
like ghost trees.

I showed a diseased twig to my local nursery man. He says that they are
infected with leafminers.

Does anyone know how to deal with these bugs? Apparently they eat the
center-section of the leaf and are therefore impervious to things like
malathion.

Any help would be appreciated.
