Are your Lilly pillies looking a bit haggard? 🌿
Is the fresh new growth showing signs of someone’s unchecked, rampant munching?
The culprit is likely the Lilly pilly beetle. These bright green beetles and their larvae can absolutely decimate your pristine hedges if left unchecked. 🪲 🐛
Why treat them right now?
Now is actually the perfect time to step in. Whether you prefer to keep things 100% organic or want an immediate, ongoing chemical knockdown, treating at this time of year has a hidden benefit:
Many of the beneficial insects that usually live in your hedges are currently hibernating, or their next generation is safely tucked away inside protective egg casings (oothecae).
This means your targeted treatment will knock out the pests while leaving the "good bugs" unharmed and ready to boost your garden in the warmer months!
