CITRUS TREES What eats the leaves?
Hi I am fairly new to Cyprus gardening, can anyone tell me what eats citrus tree leaves even at this time of year, I suspect it could be caterpillars, but never see any? Also what can you spray them with to stop the leaves been eaten? Thank you Christine x

Spray with diluted fairy liquid, usually works. Noticed there were snails on mine today

It's likely to be citrus leaf miner moth larvae, they make silvery trails on leaves and then cause them to curl up. Remove and bin affected leaves, mix some dilute washing up liquid with a little oil and spray unaffected leaves regularly.

Every few days, usually when I remember... After rain too, so that'll be just about every day at the moment
