Lerp Psyllid

Wanted for:

Eucalyptus Killing Spree

Favorite Foods:

Everything Eucalyptus except the cough drops

What’s the Problem?:

Their sweet poop – Lerps secrete, “honey dew”, a sticky, sugary trail that stresses the tree and attracts other nuisance insects to the tree.

They’re Sap Suckers! – Lerps suck the Life juice out of their host tree causing loss of foliage.

Lerps Love Leaves – Once they attack a tree, the tree starts working overtime on producing more leaves weakening the tree. Once vulnerable, an early death is imminent.

Solution:

A micro-injection in spring of Dinocide

or Imicide

will provide preventative, season-long control.

Fun Fact:

“Lerp” is the Aboriginal word for house.
