CGWS CITRUS GALL WASP SPRAY 600G

The citrus gall wasp is native to Australia and is most commonly found in coastal some inland areas of New South Wales. This problem pest has set up home in all states include Melbourne-s cooler climate and seems to have adapted quite well.

Among the many pests in the garden that we have to deal with seasonally, citrus gall wasp would have to be up there with the worst of them.

The swelling growths caused by the citrus gall wasp are pretty obvious, constant attacks will weaken your tree and cause it to produce less fruit.
These insects live off the tree-s sap while growing inside the branch and eventually, this will cause leaf-drop, reducing the tree-s ability to absorb sunlight to create the energy it needs to produce more leaves, flowers and fruit. The galls will cause the tree to become very weak and, if left untreated on the tree, the citrus gall wasp can and will destroy your tree over time.

Citrus Gall Wasp Spray is a natural insecticide that is effective enough to control citrus gall wasp. The barrier film also deters egg-laying on new shoots which will also reduce the number of new galls the following season.
