Anyone in the southeast have this problem? Any secret ways of getting rid of them? Not sure whether they attack citrus yet, but they've been an increasing problem with figs and stone fruit. The figs come back from the roots at least. They haven't turned up in town yet where I have my hardy citrus.

I haven't seen any around here, although it seems they entered the US through Charleston in 1974... I have not found anything on any of my citrus.

Thanks Laaz -- hope they continue to stay away from the citrus as they're pretty nasty to whatever they latch on to.
