Ambre Forum newbie - be nice! Posts: 1 Location: Registered: January 2010	Help please, lemon tree overrun with Miele Bug Posted 762 days ago Hello Everyone, I have a lemon tree and for the last few years I have been batteling with the Miele Bug, at least that is what I have been told it is called. It was cut back to nothing and treated on a regular basis but now it is totally over run with this white sticky bug and I am sure it is killing my tree. I have tried so many sprays and what not and have even had the pest control people in to treat it but I can't get rid of it. I have pictures but haven't worked out if/how to post. I would greatly appreciate any suggestions or help as I am at a total loss and don't know what to do. Thank you :)	0 0 Alert moderator

Registered: September 2008	RE: Help please, lemon tree overrun with Miele Bug Posted 762 days ago Very unusual problem for an outside plant. Try one part veg. oil to nine parts water with a few drops of dishwash detergent per ten litres. Spray to run-off top and bottom of foliage. If it's mealy-bug, that should see it off. Re-apply after rain. Totally harmless to bees etc. Hope this helps. _________ Experience is what you get when you dont read the instructions first.I'm a LEO.I am experienced!	0 0 Alert moderator
