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.
