ASIAN CITRUS PSYLLID

Perhaps the news coverage lately has informed you of the presence of the Asian Citrus Psyllid in California. This is no light matter. California grows a great volume of various produce including, but not limited to citrus. The presence of this Psyllid is a serious threat not only to those trees, but to the farmers, thier employees, local economies and even California’s economy. Please be aware of this threat and take action.

Abate-A-Weed recommends taking preventative action. First of all keeping your citrus trees healthy is very important. Additionally you can protect your trees using imidicloprid, which is the active ingredient in many systemic pesticides capable of killing the Asian Citrus Psyllid if it feeds on a protected tree. Abate-A-Weed carries the products you need to take preventative action.
