Strange year, I have had no leafminers at all so far this year. We had a very unusual winter that started in early Dec last year and lasted through Feb. Maybe enough to kill off all the leafminers, only time will tell.

Maybe the drought killed the leafminers? |

I have had a few. That is normally an indication they will build up on the next flush. |

I think I know where the CLM are at......my back yard. 2 out of 3 trees are loaded. The two that are loaded are Tanglo Minneola's that are one and two years old. My third tree is a Sunburst Tangerine that is several months old and so far none on the newest tree. I have been reading what I can find on the web and the most I got out of all of it is leave it alone and do not use a broad base insecticide.
Any suggestions. 
If it will help I can post pictures of the tree's |

OK I have read that I need to go get some Spinosad & Volk Oil and get busy.  Just hope I can slow this down and keep it from the new tree. |

They are here in my yard! I have started seeing them in the last couple weeks--the afternoon rains keep washing away my oil spray.

I now have seen a few on my trees. Will the systemic insecticide kill these or is oil necessary?

When I read these type of post, I'm glad my trees are in Colorado. Besides a little scale and a few aphids, Colorado has no insects of any kind that bother citrus. We also have none of the citrus diseases, viruses or funguses. -Millet (478-). |

Darkman,
I'm not sure whether insecticide will kill them. To PREVENT, your best option (imho) would be Spinosad. It may be still too hot for oils...
Good luck! |

It was 90 and humid today while I was planting my fall garden. Very miserable. I easily drank a gallon of water and was soaking wet before 0900.
